The Llano Ledger

"Anti-Semitism, racism,
white supremacy, and hateful speech have no place in the House of Representatives."

Since when? Wake
up, Congressman. No more than disingenuous bullshit.

"When a Member of Congress
violates these principles, appropriate action must be taken. As recently
as January, that included a resolution unequivocally condemning the Member
of Congress and his comments and removal from all committees."

Forget? He was tolerated
quite some time. Not equivalent to the Congresswoman you now criticize
for totally different reasons.

"Now, we have a Member
of Congress who continually chooses to use anti-Semitic rhetoric, and House
Democrat leadership refuses to directly acknowledge the problem. Instead
of strict condemnation, they have hemmed and hawed over the intent of the
statements made. Democrats have handed out allowances for inexperience
and youth, adding insult to injury for millions of Jewish Americans. Worse
yet, Nancy Pelosi has allowed this Member of Congress to remain on the
House Foreign Affairs Committee."

More disingenuous horse
shit. Don't you Republican national socialists, fascists, bona fide
nazis understand the difference between criticism of the Israeli national
socialist, fascists currently running the Israeli government and anti-Semitism?
They're
not one and the same. You don't know that? Too hopelessly
ignorant to understand?

"This week's watered-down
resolution included the Democrats' kitchen sink, but did not lend support
to Christians, Mormons, and many other groups that face regular discrimination
in this country and abroad."

Disingenuous bullshit.
... Can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, Mike, baffle 'em with bullshit?
Give me a break. The Israeli aggressor has been out of control for
decades. What is happening to the Palestinians since 1948 is
unconscionable. Who the hell were the United States, the United Nations,
and Europe to bequeath Palestine to survivors of the Holocaust at that
time? Without first consulting the Palestinians.

Forget? The Israelites
had lost that land generations ago due to their excesses. The Israeli
aggressor has been emulating its German Nazi oppressors circa 1933 at the
very beginning of the Third Reich. Too clueless to understand?
That ignorant of history? Ignorance of history is precisely why that
region has suffered war after war since 1948. Why it clearly became
the hotbed of modern terrorism. You Republican nazis too stupid,
too ill-informed to understand this?

"House Democrats must
take bigotry of all kinds seriously, not just instances that fit their
progressive liberal agenda."

'Kettle calling the pot
black,' Congressman. You Republican national socialists, fascists
are no better than the Democrats. Just at the opposite political
extreme. Both parties present an exigent threat to life, liberty,
all civil and constitutional rights and liberties. For totally different
reasons.

Cowardly fail to financially
and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional
rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk? Get what you
truly deserve.

"Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said Arab citizens have equal rights under the law but
that Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people — and only them. Soon
after, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin said Israel "has complete equality
of rights for all its citizens."

Does it?

"Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu is drawing criticism for saying that Israel is "the
national state, not of all its citizens, but only of the Jewish people."
The comment prompted many people — including Israel's president and the
star of Wonder Woman — to defend Israel's Palestinian Arab minority. Palestinian
Arab citizens are about a fifth of Israel's population and often face discrimination
and accusations of disloyalty."

"The prime minister's
comment set off criticism, debates over Israel's true nature — and observations
that with Israel's legislative elections now less than a month away, Netanyahu's
provocative language might be calculated to help his Likud Party at the
polls. Netanyahu and his party are warning that if they lose upcoming elections,
the new government could include Arab political parties."

So what? They're
Israeli citizens. Netanyahu is behaving like a nazi. That's
a problem. A big problem. Why is the United States providing
financial aid to a country that is now emulating its German Nazi oppressors
shortly after Hitler became Chancellor?

"The saga began when Israeli
actress and TV host Rotem Sela posted an Instagram story about comments
that Culture Minister and Likud member Miri Regev made during a news interview.
Sela questioned why Regev's statements about what she called the dangers
of Palestinian Arab citizens taking part in a governing coalition went
unchallenged. "When the hell will someone in this government tell the public
that Israel is a country of all its citizens," Sela wrote."

Goddamned right.
Good question. Needs to be answered by the Netanyahu nazi.

"Much of the dispute that
followed played out on Instagram, where Netanyahu responded to Sela, "Dear
Rotem, an important correction: Israel is not a state of all its citizens."
Referring to a hotly contested law adopted last year that defines Israel
as the nation-state of the Jewish people, the prime minister said Arab
citizens have equal rights under the law, but that Israel is the nation-state
of the Jewish people — and only them, Ynet News reported."

That's f--king nazism.
No more. No less. The Prime Minister has disgraced himself.
Why is the United States backing this nazi? Why?

"Israeli movie star Gal
Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman, weighed in, backing Sela and calling her
an inspiration. "Love thy neighbor as yourself. This isn't an issue of
right or left. Jew or Arab. Secular or religious," Gadot said on Instagram,
according to The Associated Press. "It's an issue of dialogue." On Monday,
Israeli President Reuven Rivlin said on Twitter that Israel "has complete
equality of rights for all its citizens," adding, "There are no first-class
citizens, and there are no second-class voters. We are all equal in the
voting booth. We are all represented at the Knesset." Rivlin did not refer
to Netanyahu directly, saying in a tweet, "Recently, when political thinking
is turning all reason on its head, we hear entirely unacceptable remarks
about the Arab citizens of Israel."

That's right. Netanyahu
and those who think like him are emulating Hitler's Third Reich
at the beginning of their reign of terror. Wake up.
This is unacceptable. The United States cannot continue to financially
support Israel under these conditions.

"For political observers
in Israel, the story has echoes of 2015, when Netanyahu posted a last-minute
video on the day of a national election, claiming (falsely, it turned out)
that right-wing rule of Israel was in danger because large numbers of Arab
voters were heading to the polls in buses provided by left-wing groups.
The tactic was widely criticized — but it was also credited with helping
to sway the election result."

Netanyahu has betrayed
his people. Remains unfit to be Prime Minister.

"Earlier this month, the
Anti-Defamation League issued a statement in which it "called on Israeli
political leaders across the spectrum to stop delegitimizing Israeli Arab
political parties and vilifying the Arab minority population of Israel."
In that statement, Carole Nuriel, the director of ADL's Israel office,
said recent incidents of politicians using anti-Arab rhetoric were "a deeply
troubling trend that, if it continues, could undermine Israel's vibrant
democracy."

Think the Trump nazi and
his henchmen are not determinedly, concertedly, deliberately increasing
tensions in the Middle East? NPR reports:

"When the United States
closes its Jerusalem Consulate on Monday, it will not only be winding down
a 175-year diplomatic mission. The move also represents another major downgrade
of the Trump administration's relations with the Palestinians. The Consulate
General in Jerusalem is the U.S. government's de facto representative office
to the Palestinian Authority. The diplomatic mission, first established
in 1844 and housed in a historical stone estate in downtown Jerusalem,
will be downgraded to a Palestinian Affairs Unit and will merge with the
new U.S. Embassy to Israel. Consul General Karen Sasahara, who has served
as an unofficial ambassador to the Palestinians, is leaving Jerusalem and
won't be replaced. A lower-ranking foreign service officer will head the
new unit. U.S Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, a longtime supporter
of Israel's West Bank settler movement whom Palestinians see as their ideological
opponent, will oversee diplomatic relations with the Palestinians and Israelis
both. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the move, which he announced
in October, will "improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations."
Palestinian officials view it as a hostile move."

It is, indeed, precisely
that.

"The U.S. administration
had a choice to build constructive relations with the Palestinian people
and leadership. Instead, it chose bullying and arrogance," Palestinian
Foreign Minister Riad Maliki said in a statement."

Exactly, right.
An aggressively stupid move by the Trump nazi and his henchmen. Guaranties
there will be no peace any time soon in the region.

"A U.S. official told
NPR that at least one dissent cable opposing the consulate closure had
been sent to senior officials in Washington. The official was unauthorized
to speak to the media about the internal diplomatic matter, and spoke on
condition of anonymity. State Department officers use the practice of sending
dissent cables in rare cases to discreetly protest major policy decisions.
Since the mid-1990s, the Consulate General has served as the U.S. diplomatic
mission dealing directly with the Palestinian leadership, while the embassy
has worked closely with Israel. U.S. officials viewed the dynamic as providing
diplomatic symmetry amid Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts. "Historically
the position of Washington has been, the two should not be merged," said
Ed Abington, a former U.S. consul general in Jerusalem. "Now they're merged.
The effect on our ability to deal with the Palestinians is being greatly
damaged."

Intentionally, by the
Trump nazi and his equally clueless henchmen. Sadly, tragically,
the U.S. will grow to regret this. Will only exacerbate an impossible
situation made worse by the jackass in the Oval Office.

"The mission merger is
the latest contentious U.S. step regarding the Palestinians. Last year,
the U.S. moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, endorsing Israel's
claims to the city but enraging Palestinians who also have claims there
and drawing international criticism. Palestinian authorities cut off ties
with U.S. officials in protest. Then the U.S. closed the Palestinians'
diplomatic office in Washington and cut hundreds of millions of dollars
in humanitarian and development aid for Palestinians. Lara Friedman, a
former U.S. foreign service officer in Jerusalem and president of the Foundation
for Middle East Peace, called the consulate closure "a massive shift" in
U.S. policy. "At this point we are saying to the Palestinians and the world
— we do not see the Palestinians as a people to engage directly. They are
now a minority and a subset to our relationship with Israel," said Friedman,
who is not related to the ambassador."

Outrageous. Particularly
so, since the Palestinians were NOT consulted when Europe, the United States,
and the United Nations chose to bequeath Palestine to survivors of the
Holocaust in 1948. Triggering war after war in the region, birth
of modern terrorism.

"Israel's Foreign Ministry
declined to comment on the consulate closure. But Zalman Shoval, a former
Israeli ambassador to the U.S., called it positive. "I would have no objections
for the U.S. to have a consulate in Ramallah, for instance, for the Palestinians,"
Shoval said, referring to the West Bank city where the Palestinian Authority
is headquartered. "But to have a separate consulate in another part of
Jerusalem creates a certain fact of splitting Jerusalem into two parts,
something which Israel is opposed to."

Tough shit. It is
Palestinian territory the Israelites lost generations ago due to their
excesses.

"Scott Lasensky, former
adviser to the U.S. ambassador to Israel under the Obama administration,
said there were "gross inefficiencies and convoluted lines of authority"
with the consulate general and embassy working separately. But he added
that the merger "will be widely perceived as a dismantling of previous
U.S. policies that positioned Washington as the lead peace broker and advocate
for a two-state solution."

The United States has
never, in effect, been a peace broker in the region. Never.
A ruse.

Get this:

"The consulate closure
is subject to a congressional review period, according to U.S. officials,
but it is unclear if any Congress members registered any formal objections
to the mission merger. House Foreign Affairs Committee staffers did not
return NPR's requests for comment. Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy's office
said he objected to the move, but his office was not aware of any congressional
review process. "It downgrades our diplomatic posture with the Palestinians
at a time when the Trump administration is cutting aid and tightening the
screws on the Palestinians, and restricting our engagement with them, apparently
believing they can be pressured into supporting the White House's yet to
be revealed Middle East peace plan. To the contrary, it has only increased
the Palestinians' desperation and distrust, widened the gap between us
and them, further damaged our credibility as a mediator, and made the prospects
for peace more elusive," Leahy's office said in a statement to NPR."

Guaranties increased terrorism.
Aggressive stupidity at its very worst. Then again, what else can
be expected from our nazi fuhrer in the Oval Office and his equally
clueless fascist henchmen?

"White House adviser Jared
Kushner says the administration will present its still-secret Israeli-Palestinian
peace plan after Israeli elections in April."

How the hell is this achingly
biased, outrageously fascist Trump family member qualified to force any
peace plan on the Palestinians? How? The son of a bitch
is part of the problem. Not the solution.

"Aaron David Miller, a
former U.S. Mideast negotiator, said the consulate-embassy merger offers
a clue about how the Trump administration approaches the question of creating
a Palestinian state alongside Israel, which was longtime U.S. policy. "The
administration seems to view Israel-Palestine as more or less one and the
same," Miller said, "and that they're thinking not of a two-state solution
but something along the lines of a Palestinian state-minus."

Delusionally short-sighted.
Guaranties there will be, cannot be, peace in the Middle East. Certainly,
no time soon. Indeed, a step backwards. Aggressive stupidity
at its very worst.

Netanyahu may finally
be getting his. The Washington Post reports:

"As Israelis digested
the charges of fraud, bribery and breach of trust leveled against Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the question on the minds of many Friday was
whether it may spell the beginning of the end for Israel’s long-serving
leader. Polls have indicated that although Netanyahu will be hurt by Attorney
General Avichai Mandelblit’s decision to indict him, pending a hearing
in which he can present his defense, the prime minister still has a fighting
chance of being reelected on April 9, when the country votes in legislative
elections. However, calls for him to stand down have sharpened. Netanyahu
has shown no sign of being prepared to do so voluntarily."

Sounds like the Trump
nazi, doesn't it? LOL.

"In a televised speech
Thursday evening, after news of Mandelblit’s decision emerged, Netanyahu
made an embattled vow to “continue serving you and the state for many years.”

"He told the public not
to let a “witch hunt” by bureaucrats, commentators and reporters cause
confusion and promised that the “house of cards” built around three corruption
cases against him would soon come tumbling down."

Sound familiar?
Where have we heard this before? Where?

“Do not believe the spin,”
he said. “I intend to serve you for many years. It all depends on you and
not on the officials or the TV studios.”

"For Netanyahu, now that
Mandelblit's letter outlining the charges against him has been sent to
his legal team, a date will be set for a hearing so the accused can rebut
the allegations. Netanyahu's lawyers told Israeli networks Thursday that
they have witnesses and documents that would prove his innocence in all
three criminal cases. In a televised speech following Netanyahu’s address
on Thursday night, main political challenger Benny Gantz said it was impossible
for Netanyahu to continue to govern. The former army chief of staff, whose
newly formed Blue and White Party is polling neck and neck with Netanyahu’s
ruling Likud faction, called on him to step down. “Benjamin Netanyahu,
I turn to you this evening — wake up, think about the national responsibility
and resign,” said Gantz. “If and when you prove your innocence, you can
return to the public arena with your head held high.”

Think Trump, should he
lose the election, would voluntarily leave office?

“This is a sad day for
the State of Israel,” said Yair Lapid, who merged his Yesh Atid (There
is a Future) party with Gantz’s last week. “Netanyahu cannot continue to
serve as prime minister. He knows that. He knows that better than anyone.”
Indeed, when he was leader of the opposition and his rival Olmert was indicted,
Netanyahu argued that the prime minister should step aside because he would
be too distracted by the legal case to govern."

Same kind of contradictory,
achingly hypocritical double talk we constantly hear from the Trump nazi.
... Partners in crime, -- so to speak? LOL.

Report goes on and on
in great detail. Be interesting to see how the Israelis resolve this.
To say nothing of how we, as Americans, resolve the Trump nazi catastrophe.
What webs we weave.

The Israeli Prime Minister
is back in the news. For the wrong reason. NBC News reports:

"Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu startled Iranians and even the White House on Wednesday
with a strident call for Israeli-Arab action against the government in
Tehran that was translated by his office as urging "war with Iran." Although
Israeli officials tried to soften the reference by altering the English
translation, the provocative comment was likely to further the perception
that Israel, its Gulf Arab neighbors and the United States are interested
in using military action to topple the government of Iran. It comes at
a particularly delicate moment, as the Trump administration uses a U.S.-organized
summit in Warsaw and this week's 40th anniversary of the Iranian Revolution
to try to rally the world against the government in Tehran."

Certainly, will do nothing
to improve relations in the region.

"The U.S. government quickly
reached out to Israeli officials to ask for an explanation. A senior U.S.
official traveling with Vice President Mike Pence, who is attending the
summit in Warsaw, said that senior Israeli officials told the U.S. that
it was a matter of bad translation. But Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, a member
of the Senate Intelligence Committee, dismissed the notion that Netanyahu
had simply been mistranslated. "He knew what he meant," King said on MSNBC."

The following, while exceptionally
un-American, comes as no surprise under Trump's Fourth Reich. The
Washington Post reports:

"Bahia Amawi, a speech
pathologist who has worked as a contractor in a Texas school district for
nine years, received a new contract agreement to sign in September for
the upcoming school year. The agreement asked her to affirm that she did
not boycott Israel and assert that she would not while working for the
school."

What the hell business
is it of the school district?

"She declined to sign
it. Amawi, an American citizen of Palestinian descent who was born in Austria,
said the statements infringed on her principles: her stance on Israel’s
treatment of Palestinians and her belief in the First Amendment. So she
was forced to stop working with the district. The contract, which stems
from a 2017 law passed by the state’s Republican-held legislature and governor
that prohibited state agencies from contracting with companies boycotting
Israel, is the subject of a lawsuit filed this week by Amawi in federal
district court in Austin."

Sue the living shit
out of the nazi f--kers. Take them for all you can get.

"Amawi says the state’s
enforcement of the law violates her right to free speech."

Indeed. It does.
Outrageous abrogation of the First Amendment.

“My first reaction was
shock,” Amawi told reporters Monday. “Why is the government restricting
me from boycotting a certain entity?” Amawi started working for the Pflugerville
Independent School District outside Austin in 2009. Her work entails doing
evaluations of Arabic-speaking children, according to the complaint she
filed. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the school district are named
in the lawsuit."

Here's what's remarkably
interesting. Get this:

"In a statement posted
on Facebook, the district said it was bound by the recently passed Texas
state law, which it cast in a negative light. “This language is required
by the State of Texas for all school districts in Texas, along with other
governmental entities,” the statement said. “Unfortunately, Pflugerville
ISD and all Texas school districts are at the mercy of the state and the
regulations printed into law, and in situations such as this, we are forced
to spend time on state political issues and not on our core mission — educating
students." Texas passed the law in 2017, part of a wave of states that
have passed legislation requiring that state agencies not do business with
companies that support the “BDS movement” (for Boycott, Divestment and
Sanctions) to boycott Israeli goods."

It's none of the state's
goddamned business.

Gets worse. Get
this:

"The bill’s language has
been interpreted so broadly that the application for some grants for victims
of Hurricane Harvey included a similar provision, drawing rebukes from
local officials and the American Civil Liberties Union. It is not clear
whether other states' laws have been written or interpreted in a way to
include contractors such as Amawi. “Texas’ ban on contracting with any
boycotter of Israel constitutes viewpoint discrimination that chills constitutionally-protected
political advocacy in support of Palestine,” Amawi’s complaint states.
Fred O. Smith, a constitutional law expert at Emory University, cited two
Supreme Court precedents: a 1996 case that found that it was unconstitutional
for government officials to retaliate against independent contractors for
their speech, as well as 1976 ruling, Elrod v. Burns, that found it unconstitutional
for governments to refuse to hire people for their political views, in
most circumstances. “These principles taken together strongly suggest that
refusing to renew a contract of someone who wishes to advocate a political
position raises very serious constitutional concerns under those Supreme
Court precedents,” Smith said."

"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott
(R) tweeted his support for Israel on Monday as news of Amawi’s lawsuit
began to circulate. “Texas stands with Israel,” he wrote. “Period.”

The hell it does, Governor.
You don't speak for all of us, Mr. Abbott. Readers are reminded this
piece of shit ignored repeated complaints against Wells Fargo made by this
writer when Abbott was Texas Attorney General. Clearly, the Governor
is far more interested in lining the pockets of his cronies in the corporate
management suite than in doing the right thing. That is, prosecuting
white-collar criminals. Holding the greedy bastards accountable for
their crimes.

Not everyone is in goose
step with our national socialist Governor:

"Glenn Greenwald, a columnist
and co-founding editor of the Intercept who writes frequently about Israeli
politics as they intersect with those of the United States, wrote harshly
of the contract.“ The language of the affirmation Amawi was told
she must sign reads like Orwellian — or McCarthyite — self-parody, the
classic political loyalty oath that every American should instinctively
shudder upon reading,” he wrote. “In order to continue to work, Amawi would
be perfectly free to engage in any political activism against her own country,
participate in an economic boycott of any state or city within the U.S.,
or work against the policies of any other government in the world — except
Israel.”

"Amawi said that she made
the decision for her own values, but also to serve as an example for her
four children, telling the Intercept that she did not consider signing
the pledge in order to keep her work. “I couldn’t in good conscience do
that,” she said. “If I did, I would not only be betraying Palestinians
suffering under an occupation that I believe is unjust and thus become
complicit in their repression, but I’d also be betraying my fellow Americans
by enabling violations of our constitutional rights to free speech and
to protest peacefully.” Amawi’s lawsuit says she’s seeking an injunction
that will strike the “No boycott of Israel” clause from school contracts,
as well as others statewide, and pay her “reasonable costs” and attorney’s
fees. “The point of boycotting any products that support Israel is to put
pressure on Israeli government to change its treatment, the inhumane treatment
of the Palestinian people,” she told the Intercept."

Think the Israeli aggressor
does not have serious problems of its own making? NPR reports:

"Protesters across Israel
on Tuesday criticized what they say is the government's failure to address
violence against women. Activists carried signs bearing the names of women
killed this year, lit candles and blocked city streets. Some demonstrators
lay in the roads, with fake blood splattered across their clothes, and
clutching stuffed animals. In Tel Aviv, protesters displayed shoes that
had been dyed red. In Jerusalem, a fountain spouted red fluid, resembling
blood. Media outlets reported that people chanted for Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu to "wake up, our blood is not cheap."

not
like the blood of Palestinians?

Outrageous infringement
on the First Amendment. NBC News reports:

"CNN on Thursday parted
ways with contributor Marc Lamont Hill after a speech the college professor
made on Israel and Palestine at the United Nations."

Gutless, mindless muzzling
of free speech. Capitulation to the Nazi Right by the gutless bastards
at CNN.

"A CNN spokesperson confirmed
Hill is no longer under contract. The network did not give a reason, but
the move comes amid objections to Hill's speech by the Anti-Defamation
League and other groups. Hill, a professor of media studies at Temple University
who had been a recurring political commentator on CNN, called for countries
to boycott and divest from Israel in the Wednesday speech given for the
U.N.'s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People." "We
have an opportunity to not just offer solidarity in words but to commit
to political action, grass-roots action, local action and international
action that will give us what justice requires and that is a free Palestine
from the river to the sea," Hill said in the speech.

"Yesterday,
I gave a speech at the UN in which I critiqued Israel’s polices and practices
toward Palestinians. It’s baffling how people are not responding to the
critique, but instead responding to things I didn’t actually say. —
Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) November 29, 2018"

Political correctness
run amok:

"The ADL and others said
the "river to the sea" phrase is code for the destruction of Israel often
used by Hamas and groups bent on its destruction. "Those calling for 'from
the river to the sea' are calling for an end to the State of Israel," ADL's
Senior Vice President for International Affairs Sharon Nazarian, said in
a statement, adding that the annual event at the U.N. "promotes divisiveness
and hate." Hill sent a series of tweets responding to his firing and defending
his speech."

Why should he have had
to do this? He is entitled to his opinion and the right to state
it. Did not do so while on the CNN dime. So what the
f--k is their problem?

"My reference to 'river
to the sea' was not a call to destroy anything or anyone," Hill said on
Twitter. "It was a call for justice, both in Israel and in the West Bank/Gaza.
The speech very clearly and specifically said those things." "I support
Palestinian freedom. I support Palestinian self-determination," Hill tweeted,
adding, "I do not support anti-Semitism, killing Jewish people, or any
of the other things attributed to my speech. I have spent my life fighting
these things."

No longer matters in Nazi
America, a goddamned fascist police-state, quickly transitioning to the

Think the Israelis aren't
behaving like out of control savages? ABC News reports:

"A senior Israeli Cabinet
minister on Wednesday threatened to kill the leader of the militant Hamas
movement ruling Gaza, vowing that another "large campaign" looms in which
Israel will hit the militants hard. Housing Minister Yoav Gallant, a former
military general who commanded the Gaza region, said Hamas leader Yehiyeh
Sinwar should "recalculate his route" before the next engagement. "Yehiyeh
Sinwar's time is limited. He will not end his life in an old folks' home,"
he said, at the Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference. "He has to behave
himself."

'Kettle calling the
pot black.' LOL.

"We are now close to a
no-choice war against Hamas in Gaza. We must strike hard to restore deterrence,"
Intelligence Minister Israel Katz told the conference. "Any attack on Israeli
soil must be met with a tough response ... if Sinwar or (Hamas political
chief Ismail) Haniyeh were to fire a bullet or a rocket at a soldier or
Israeli citizens they will pay with their heads."

Wake up.
Remove your head from your ass. Deterrence? What deterrence?
The unmitigated brutality of the Israeli aggressor has done nothing more
than increase determination of the Palestinians and others in the region
since
1948.

"Israel assassinated Hamas
leaders Ahmad Yassin and Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi in 2004, and tried to kill
another leader, Khaled Mashaal, in 1997. The killing of senior members
of the group has had no discernible impact on its operations or ideology."

You bastards so clueless,
so hopelessly arrogant you cannot, will not understand what you've done
to date has had the exact opposite effect intended?

"Hamas has staged near-weekly
border protests since March in an effort to lift the Israeli-Egyptian blockade
imposed after the Islamic militant group seized control of the coastal
strip in 2007. The blockade has ravaged Gaza's economy, and Israel refuses
to lift it unless Hamas disarms, a demand rejected by militant group, which
is pledged to Israel's destruction. Demonstrators each week have approached
the border fence, throwing firebombs, grenades and burning tires at Israeli
troops. Israeli snipers have killed about 170 people, most of them unarmed.
Israel says it is defending its border against attackers, but it has come
under heavy international criticism for shooting unarmed people."

Holocaust survivors stole
land from its Palestinian inhabitants in 1948 with the blessing of the
United States, Europe, and the United Nations. Did so without consulting
the Palestinians. Made no effort to come to an understanding or agreement.
Occupied land your ancestors lost centuries ago due to their excesses.
Wake
up.

"Nobody wants war in Gaza
now. It will be very damaging for everyone," said Nickolay Mladenov, the
U.N. Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process. "I hope we
can step back from this terrible cycle where every Friday we are wondering
if we will go to war or not."

Our country, the United
States, is the ongoing problem. An impediment to peace. Continues
to mindlessly support the Israeli aggressor no matter what it does or doesn't
do. Won't rein in the aggressor. Someday that will change when
Americans finally wake up. When that happens, so will the unthinkable.
That is, Israel, horrendously outnumbered by its enemies, will be destroyed
as US support dries up and finally ends. Time to resolve this issue
now. Before too late.

aggressor has struck. CBS News reports:

"Israel carried out airstrikes
in the Gaza Strip on Monday after dozens of rockets were fired from the
Palestinian territory into Israel. Clashes which erupted during an Israeli
special forces operation in Gaza late Sunday had threatened to derail efforts
to restore calm to the Palestinian enclave after months of unrest. Seven
Palestinians were killed in the overnight clashes, one of whom was a local
commander for Hamas's armed wing. One Israeli army officer was also killed.
At least six Israelis were injured later on Monday when dozens of rockets
were fired from Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut short a trip
to Paris to commemorate the end of World War I to rush home as tensions
rose. Israel stressed its operation was an intelligence-gathering mission
and "not an assassination or abduction." The statement from Israeli military
spokesman Ronen Manelis signaled that the mission did not go as planned
and resulted in the clash, which Palestinian security sources said included
Israeli air strikes. An Israeli ground operation to kill or abduct militants
inside the Gaza Strip would be rare. Hamas, the Islamist movement that
runs the blockaded enclave, and its armed wing, spoke of a "cowardly Israeli
attack" and an "assassination", vowing revenge. Hamas's armed wing said
an Israeli special forces team had infiltrated near Khan Yunis in the southern
Gaza Strip in a civilian car. Israeli air strikes followed when the operation
failed, it said in a statement. Israel's military had not confirmed those
details. Gaza's health ministry said seven Palestinians were killed.

The Washington Post
reports:

"Israel’s hawkish Defense
Minister Avigdor Liberman announced his resignation Wednesday, citing his
opposition to a cease-fire with Hamas following the worst outbreak of violence
in Gaza since a 50-day war in the summer of 2014. In a televised news conference,
Liberman, who became defense minister in 2016, said that agreeing to a
cease-fire was “surrendering to terror.” He has been a proponent of firm
military action against Hamas, the Islamist militant group that controls
the Gaza Strip, even if it risked a wider conflict. “There is no other
definition, no other significance, but a surrender to terror,” Liberman
said. “What we are doing now as a country is buying short-term quiet at
the cost of our long-term security.” The withdrawal of his party from government
leaves Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a thin one-seat majority
in Israel’s parliament, known as the Knesset — controlling just 61 of 120
seats. As he resigned, Liberman called for elections to be held as soon
as possible."

Growing political trouble
in Israeli aggressor 'paradise':

"All eyes are now on Education
Minister Naftali Bennett, leader of Israel’s Jewish Home party, another
right-wing politician who has called for a stronger military response to
Gaza. Bennett, who has a fractious relationship with Netanyahu, is demanding
to take Liberman’s place or his party will leave the coalition, according
to senior officials in his party."

Hopefully, will quickly
occur. Anything to destabilize the Israeli aggressor.

"Palestinian armed factions
in Gaza announced the cease-fire on Tuesday night after a bout of fighting
triggered by a botched Israeli operation into the Hamas-controlled strip.
Seven militants, including a Hamas commander, were killed in the incident,
which also claimed the life of an Israeli officer. Militants fired more
than 460 rockets toward Israeli communities near Gaza in what they said
was a response to the deaths, as Israeli jets pounded 160 targets in Gaza,
destroying several buildings. The cease-fire announced by Hamas Tuesday
night was still holding Wednesday even though there was no official Israeli
confirmation it had been accepted. Residents of the southern Israeli communities
have protested what they called the government’s capitulation."

Sadly, the Israeli aggressor
has it ass backwards. Been so since 1948.

"Demonstrations celebrating
the cease-fire as a victory against Israel were held in Gaza on Tuesday
night. Hamas then described Liberman’s announcement as another win. “The
resignation of Liberman is a political victory for Gaza,” said Hamas spokesman
Sami Abu Zuhri. He said it was an admission of defeat and showed Hamas
had succeeded in “creating a political shake-up in the occupation.” Liberman
said his resignation comes after weeks of disagreement with Netanyahu over
a course of action on how to handle ongoing tensions with the coastal Palestinian
enclave, whose rulers have called for Israel’s destruction. Last week Israel
facilitated the transfer of $15 million in cash from Qatar to Gaza to pay
salaries of civil servants and employees of the Hamas-run government, as
part of a wider deal aimed at alleviating the growing humanitarian crisis
in the territory."

None of this is sustainable.
Has not been since 1948 when the United States, Europe, and the United
Nations bequeathed Palestine to survivors of the Holocaust, -- without
consulting the Palestinians.

"It was part of an understanding
that would have entailed economic aid for Gaza, including a cash injection
and international reconstruction projects, in return for Hamas clamping
down on border demonstrations and preventing the use of incendiary kites
that have been launched across the border fence into Israel. Netanyahu
said on Sunday that the process was to maintain Israel’s security by preventing
a collapse in the humanitarian situation for the 2 million civilians “held
hostage” by Hamas. Liberman said the transfer of the money was a “turning
point” for him. “Everyone saying the money will be regulated after entering
Gaza, is wrong — to put it mildly,” he said. “The money went first of all
to the terrorists’ families.” The Moldovan-born minister said it was no
secret that he and the prime minister held differences of opinion. “I did
not agree to allow Qatari money to enter [into Gaza],” he said. “I had
to allow it only after the prime minister announced it.”

Goes on and on.
None of this is going to end well. None of it.

War for the liberation
of Palestine from the Israeli aggressor, sadly, goes on and on. NBC
News reports:

"Israeli warplanes bombed
around 80 targets across the Gaza Strip early Saturday after militants
launched a volley of rockets into Israel. Within hours, a widely reported
truce calmed what looked like a dangerous escalation in violence. Overnight,
explosions rocked the blockaded Palestinian enclave as buildings shook
and flames lit up the night sky. In Israeli towns and communities near
Gaza, warning sirens sounded through the night, sending residents rushing
to bomb shelters. Israeli Air Force said some rockets were intercepted
by Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system. The Islamic Jihad — a militant
group operating in Gaza — claimed responsibility for rocket strikes into
Israel, saying in a statement it "can no longer stand idly" in light of
"continued cold-blooded killing of innocent civilians by the Israeli occupation."

In follow up to the last
edition vis a vis the latest ongoing Israeli aggressor fiasco, CBS News
reports:

"An American graduate
student in detention at Israel's international airport over allegations
that she promotes a boycott of the Jewish state appealed her detention
Thursday before an Israeli court in Tel Aviv. Lara Alqasem appeared calm,
mostly keeping her hands on her knees during the court hearing, only smiling
giddily when she was surrounded by journalists and photographers. She is
to remain in detention until the court delivers its ruling; no date for
the ruling has been set."

This young woman stood
tall. Fearlessly, but peacefully, challenged the aggressor.
Uncommon valor.

"The 22-year-old American
with Palestinian grandparents landed at Ben-Gurion Airport last week with
a valid student visa and was registered to study human rights at Jerusalem's
Hebrew University. But she was barred from entering the country and ordered
deported, based on suspicions that she's an activist in the boycott movement.
Israel insists she can leave at any time but must renounce the BDS boycott
movement if she wishes to be reconsidered for admission."

F--k 'em. While
she may never consequently be granted entry, certainly is exposing the
fascists running Israel for precisely whom and what they are. Causing
them great embarrassment.

"Israel enacted a law
last year banning entry for any foreigner who "knowingly issues a public
call for boycotting Israel." It's come under heavy criticism for its handling
of Alqasem's case."

Rightfully, so.
Certainly, doing irreparable damage to its image internationally.
Aggressive stupidity at its very worst.

"Alqasem, from the Fort
Lauderdale suburb of Southwest Ranches, Florida, is a former president
of the University of Florida chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine.
The group is a branch of the BDS movement, whose name comes from its calls
for boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel."

Rightfully, so.

"BDS supporters say that
in urging businesses, artists and universities to sever ties with Israel,
they are using nonviolent means to resist unjust policies toward Palestinians."

That's right. Israeli
citizens themselves are questioning what their leaders are doing vis a
vis the Palestinians. So are many Jews in the United States.
Again, rightfully so.

"Israel says the movement
masks its motives to delegitimize or destroy the Jewish state."

Israeli leaders themselves
have already been doing this for decades in their treatment of the Palestinians.
Remain too ignorant to understand these oppressive, brutal tactics are
counterproductive. Will eventually lead to precisely what they are
desperately trying to avoid, destruction of the State of Israel.

"Gilad Erdan, Israel's
minister for strategic affairs, described Students for Justice in Palestine
as an extremist organization. "We don't want to see their activists coming
to Israel and trying to use our infrastructure to harm us and destroy us,"
he said."

You're already doing this
to yourselves as well as the Palestinians. Have done so since 1948.
Status quo, not sustainable.

"Alqasem's lawyers say
she is no longer involved in BDS activity, and former professors have described
her as a curious and open-minded student. Jewish groups in the United States
as well as the Hebrew University itself have come to her defense."

Stunning, isn't it?
What are the nazis running Israel so afraid of?

"A pair of dovish Israeli
lawmakers also attending Thursday's hearing to protest Alqasem's lengthy
detention. Mussi Raz of Meretz called on Erdan to free her and stop a "snowball"
that is getting larger all the time. "Stop this circus, you are causing
grave damage to Israel's image," he said."

That's right. Aggressive
stupidity at its worst.

New readers are reminded
the United States, Europe, and the United States granted survivors of Hitler's
death camps the land mass of Palestine in 1948. -- Land the Israelites
lost generations ago due to their excesses. Executed this land grant
without consultation of the Palestinians. Precisely, why there's
armed conflict in the region ever since.

Reportedly, the Israeli's
bowed to intense international pressure. Released Alqasem.

"Nikki Haley is resigning
as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and will leave the Trump administration
at the end of the year, she said Tuesday."

Finally, did the right
thing, Madam Ambassador. Congratulations. About time.

"Haley appeared with President
Trump on Tuesday morning at the Oval Office, where he called her a "fantastic
person" and said Haley had told him six months ago that she might take
time off at the end of the year."

Finally, some good news.
Can
we stand it? LOL.

"Trump praised Haley,
saying she has done an "incredible job" and is "somebody who gets it."
He said he hoped she would come back to the administration in another capacity,
adding, "You can have your pick."

Jesus Christ. Two
peas in a pod. Two certifiable dolts. LOL.

Gets worse. Get
this:

"It has been the honor
of a lifetime," Haley said. "It has really been a blessing." She thanked
the president, as well as first lady Melania Trump and the president's
daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner, whom she singled out
as a "hidden genius" who had done significant behind-the-scenes work."

Wake up.
Haley has done great damage as UN Ambassador:

"Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Haley in a statement for her support of Israel,
saying she "led an uncompromising fight against the United Nations' hypocrisy
and for truth and justice in our country."

Wake up, Mr. Prime
Minister. History is indeed repeating itself. You and your
stooges are emulating the German Nazi oppressors of Holocaust victims during
the Second World prior to the death camps. Doing so to the Palestinians,
whose land you've stolen and whose lives you've taken as they've valiantly
fought for what's theirs. Conveniently, forget? Land you lost
generations ago due to your excesses.

Delusionally believe Haley
is without controversy?

"On Monday, the federal
watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington called
for the State Department's inspector general to launch an ethics investigation
into Haley regarding seven free flights on private planes that Haley and
her husband accepted from three South Carolina businessmen in 2017. "Ambassador
Haley should have been conscious of the appearance concerns surrounding
her acceptance of gifts of private luxury air travel at a time when her
colleagues in the administration were making news with their own lavish
air travel," CREW wrote."

Can't confuse a clueless
nazi with the truth, can we?

In follow up to the above,
here is the tyranny UN Ambassador Nikki Haley is at least partially responsible
for. NPR reports:

"Lara Alqasem, a 22-year-old
Florida native, landed at Israel's Ben-Gurion Airport last Tuesday, expecting
to start her studies in human rights at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Instead, she has spent the past week detained."

Courtesy of Israeli storm
troopers.

"Alqasem, whose father
is of Palestinian heritage, was barred from entering the country and accused
of supporting a boycott of Israel that was started by Palestinian leaders."

Even if true, tough shit.
Called freedom, liberty. A concept no longer understood in Israel
or the United States.

"Her mother, Karen Alqasem,
told WMNF that "when she went through the gate to try to enter the country
they asked where her father — you know she has the Alqasem name — so they
asked where does that name come from, where was her father born?"

Who the f--k cares?
She's an American citizen, a Florida native, there to study and on a visa.

"She showed the security
agents her student visa, her mother said, but they made a call and detained
her."

Israeli nazi storm troopers
reminiscent of their German Nazi oppressors during the Second World War.

"Alqasem was denied entry
to Israel because of a 2017 law barring visitors who support or call for
a boycott against the country or its settlements in the West Bank. The
measure passed after the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, a
Palestinian-led campaign to exert pressure on Israel, gained traction internationally."

As well, it should have.
Called justice. An exceptionally precious principle no longer understood
in Israel or the United States.

"Israel, like every democracy,
has the right to prevent the entry of foreign nationals, especially those
working to harm the country," Israeli Minister of Public Security and Strategic
Affairs Gilad Erdan said on Monday. "Therefore we work to prevent the entry
of those who promote the anti-Semitic BDS campaign, which calls for Israel's
destruction."

Horse shit.

"Erdan said the student
was "president of a chapter of one of the most extreme and hate-filled
BDS groups" in the U.S., which has chapters that "repeatedly engaged in
anti-Semitic and violent activity with the goal of bullying and silencing
students simply for their support of Israel."

More horse shit.

"He also questioned why
she "changed her story several times" since arriving in Israel and erased
her social media accounts prior to traveling."

Vis a vis 'her story,'
did she? Or, are you no more than a congenital liar like the Trump
nazi? Regarding social media accounts, why wouldn't she erase them?
To protect herself against idiots like you, sir. Then again, have
to question the judgment of this young woman to have any social media accounts
at all.

Here's the crux of the
matter, true intention of the Israeli aggressor vis a vis this particular
young woman:

"He also said she is free
to return to the United States."

How about that?
Persona non-grata. ... Just like the Trump nazi to so very many here
in the United States. LOL.

"According to a profile
page about Alqasem on a website that claims to document people and organizations
"that promote hatred of the USA, Israel and Jews on North American college
campuses," she was the president of Students for Justice in Palestine at
the University of Florida."

Even if true, so what?
Called liberty. Had she been violent or embracing violence,
however, would have been a far different story. She would not have
even gotten out of this country. Would have been prosecuted.

"Alqasem appealed the
order, reportedly telling the Tel Aviv Court of Appeals that she no longer
identified with the boycott movement. The court recommended that she remain
in custody until a decision was reached. "The weeklong detention is the
longest anyone has been held in a boycott-related case," The Associated
Press reported."

Who the hell cares whether
or not she supports the boycott movement? Proof positive, the Israeli
aggressor is growing increasingly paranoid and isolated.

"As she awaits the court's
decision, she told her mother that there was a bedbug infestation in her
cell, according to the AP. Her cellphone was confiscated and she felt "completely
cut off from the world."

"On Tuesday, Erdan said
that the government would reconsider her entry if she denounced the boycott
movement."

F--k 'em. True desperation.
Proof positive they're losing the fight.

"Her attorney, Yotam Ben-Hillel,
did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment. "We're talking
about someone who simply wants to study in Israel, who is not boycotting
anything," Ben-Hillel told the AP. "She's not even part of the student
organization anymore."

Other than the nazis in
power in Israel, who is concerned? Get this:

"Erdan said the leader
of the boycott movement, Omar Barghouti, has an Israeli residency permit
and studied at Tel Aviv University. Erdan argued that studying in Israel
did not mean Alqasem could not be part of the boycott movement. Dror Abend-David,
a Jewish language and culture professor who taught Alqasem Hebrew at the
University of Florida, offered support for her in an opinion letter to
Haaretz: "It was impossible not to notice that she was an exceptional student
— hard-working, curious and ambitious. ... She was curious about Israel
and never expressed any negative sentiment or anger about Israel." A spokesperson
at Hebrew University of Jerusalem told NPR that it would join Alqasem's
appeal. Some 400 academics from the university and other Israeli schools
have called for her to be allowed into the country, The Jerusalem Post
reported."

How about that?
Some sanity left.

Insult to injury, get
this:

"Hebrew University Rector
Barak Medina told The Washington Post that authorities prevented university
representatives from visiting her at the airport on Sunday. "This kind
of legislation might actually enhance the tendency to boycott Israel, instead
of mitigating it," Medina was reported to have said. "These are a collection
of policies that are not only aimed at narrowing freedom of speech but
also show the extent to which Israel is not acting like a liberal democracy
should."

Exactly, right.
Clearly, only the nazi element in Israeli government has its shorts in
a wad. LOL.

"In recent months, a number
of vocal critics of the Israeli government, including U.S. journalist Peter
Beinart, have been interrogated about their political views by border agents.
As NPR's Daniel Estrin reported, the practice has revived a debate about
whether Israel is suppressing dissent."

It is. Clearly,
so.

Once again, the Israeli
aggressor has shown its true colors. NPR reports:

"Netanyahu spoke with
NPR after Trump spoke in favor of a two-state solution while visiting the
United Nations last week. (To be precise, Trump welcomed a two-state solution,
or a one-state solution in which Palestinians are absorbed into Israel:
"If they do a single, if they do a double, I'm OK with it if they're both
happy.") In the NPR interview, Israel's leader pushed for neither."

Spoke out both sides his
fascist ass:

"Netanyahu said Israel
must remain in complete control of security, whether Palestinians claim
a state or not."

Translation? No
freedom. Must remain under the boot heel of the Israeli aggressor.
No true sovereignty. None. None at all. Continued oppression.

"My view of a potential
agreement is that the Palestinians have all the powers to govern themselves,
but none of the powers to threaten us," Netanyahu tells NPR's Steve Inskeep
in an exclusive interview for Morning Edition. "The key power that must,
must not be in their hands is the question of security. ... I don't want
them either as citizens of Israel or subjects of Israel."

Survivors of the Holocaust
stole
their land in 1948, you lying, deceptive, disingenuous son of a bitch.
Did so with the blessing of the United States, Europe, and the United Nations.
-- Land your forebears lost generations ago due to their excesses.
In 1948, Palestinians were not consulted by anyone before their
land was stolen. Have been fighting you and your murderous bastards
ever since.

"The Israeli leader says
he would prefer Palestinians receive "basically all the powers of sovereignty,
or nearly all the powers, but not the ones of security." This option, he
says, would give Israel overriding power of security, but let the Palestinians
"govern their lives in a more complete way," with their own parliament,
government and tax system."

"He believes this potential
solution is the most realistic approach and "the best arrangement" for
both parties."

Horse shit. Unadulterated.
Sadly, ensures the killing will continue unabated. Sadder still?
All this could have been avoided had Palestinians been consulted in 1948.
An arrangement could have been made. Instead, their land was stolen.
Were told they had to live under the Israeli boot heel.

Sadder than that?
The Israeli aggressor has become remarkably reminiscent of its Nazi oppressors,
circa 1933, when Adolf Hitler became Chancellor. Unfortunately and
clearly, the worst was yet to come then, -- and now. Status
quo is unsustainable, Mr. Prime Minister. There are those of us in
the United States beginning to wake up to this horrendous injustice.

Will come a time American
aid and support to the Israeli aggressor will end. Outnumbered and
surrounded by your enemies in the region, the very existence of the State
of Israel will be sadly, tragically threatened. Use of your nuclear
weapons stockpile will accomplish nothing other than obliterate the region.

"Last week, President
Trump said he supports a two-state solution, making it the first time he
has publicly voiced his stance on a Palestinian state. Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas responded in agreement with Trump, saying the path to peace
requires a two-state solution. Netanyahu, however, tells NPR he has made
it clear for several years that any Palestinian government could not have
full control of security."

Translation? Will
continue to live under the Israeli boot heel.

"Despite Trump's comments,
Netanyahu says the relationship between the U.S. and Israel continues to
be "a very powerful bond." He doesn't view his close friendship with Trump
as a risk to the historic bipartisan support for Israel in the United States."

Enjoy it while you can,
Mr. Prime Minister. Forget? Nothing is forever.

"He gives Trump credit
for his "tremendous service to our common security," specifically when
it comes to the Iran nuclear deal."

Delusional horse shit.
Unbridled paranoia.

"We can have disagreements
and yet have a basic agreement about the importance of our alliance," he
said. "I don't have a disagreement with President Trump on Iran."

Wake up.
You're losing support from Jewish Americans. To say nothing of those
of us who heretofore supported Israel, but have finally woken up to your
horrendous treatment of the Palestinians.

"In May, Netanyahu praised
Trump for his "courageous leadership" in pulling out of the 2015 Iran nuclear
deal, something Israel had been fighting against since its formation. Netanyahu
again commended Trump for standing up for Israel during the U.N. General
Assembly meeting last week, when the Trump administration announced it
would cut all funding to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency in Palestine.
The agency helps fund schools and clinics in the West Bank and Gaza — as
well as Jordan, Syria and Lebanon — for more than 5 million Palestinian
refugees."

You remain a fool, Mr.
Prime Minister. This ensures there will be no peace in the region
for the foreseeable future. Sadly, only violence.

"As for bipartisan support
in the U.S., Netanyahu believes that both Republican and Democratic leaders
understand Israel's dedication to "a robust, open, free democracy."

But not for the
Palestinians, right, Mr. Netanyahu? Your Aryan arrogance,
stunning.
Reminiscent, Adolf Hitler, circa 1933, beginning of the Third Reich.

"We value America's support
from all sides," Netanyahu said."

Delusional. You're
not getting it from all of us. Not at all. Wake up.

NPR reports:

"Israeli authorities are
defending a recent series of interrogations of left-wing activists at Israel's
airport and borders, saying the practice is necessary to prevent violence
and terrorism."

Defense of the indefensible.
As Israel and the United States continue to sadly, tragically nazify.

"But a prominent civil
rights advocate in the country called the government's justification "shameful
and dangerous." In recent months, several critics of the Israeli government
— most prominently U.S. journalist Peter Beinart — complained that Israeli
border agents questioned them about their pro-Palestinian activism and
political beliefs. The testimonies made headlines and rekindled a debate
about whether Israel is stifling dissent and liberal views."

Called nazification.
Fascist police-state.

"In a statement, Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Beinart's interrogation was a mistake.
Israel's domestic security service, Shin Bet, which conducts interrogations,
opened an investigation into the case. Israeli justice officials also looked
into the recent incidents. In a letter Thursday to Israeli groups protesting
the practice, Deputy Attorney General Dina Zilber said the interrogations
were not intended to block demonstrations but rather "to thwart and prevent
illegal activity, whether on a nationalist basis or with a connection to
terror."

Horse shit. These
jackbooted bastards are emulating their Nazi SS oppressors during the Second
World War. At the beginning of the Third Reich and before
the death camps went into full operation. Far worse was about to
come, both then and now. Wake up.

"The Shin Bet issued a
seven-page document defending its interrogations, saying it seeks to prevent
domestic and international left-wing activists from encouraging Israelis
and Palestinians to gather in West Bank areas "and use violence against
Jewish residents and security forces." Dan Yakir, chief counsel for the
Association for Civil Rights in Israel, who petitioned justice officials
to investigate the interrogation practice, protested the government's explanations.
"This is one of the most shameful and dangerous documents ever issued from
one of the state authorities," Yakir said. "Apparently, the Shin Bet believes
that participation in a demonstration or a tour in the West Bank constitutes
an existential threat to the State of Israel." Pro-Palestinian activists
from around the world frequently participate in demonstrations with Israeli
and Palestinian activists against Israel's military occupation of the West
Bank and policies toward Palestinians living there. Most countries reject
Israel's presence in the territory and support Palestinians' quest for
independence."

Cowardly fail to financially
and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional
rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk? Get what you
truly deserve.

"The Trump administration
has confirmed it will no longer fund peace-building programs for Palestinians
and Israelis — including an interfaith youth program and a project for
children with disabilities."

Aggressive stupidity the
Trump nazi can't seem to shake.

"It's the latest in a
series of announcements of the U.S. cutting hundreds of millions of dollars
for Palestinians, with the aim of pressuring Palestinian leaders to cooperate
with U.S. efforts to broker a peace deal with Israel."

Only expands resolve of
the Palestinians to stand up to the Israeli aggressor and the United States.

"The decision, first reported
Friday by the New York Times, is expected to affect a host of projects
supporting Israeli and Palestinian almond farmers, young entrepreneurs,
environmental activists and others."

'Stupid is as stupid does,'
right,
Mr. 'President?'

"I continue to believe
in the importance of building relationships between Israelis and Palestinians,
particularly kids, but. ..." senior U.S. peace negotiator Jason Greenblatt
tweeted, "Palestinian and Israeli kids will lose, and these programs will
be meaningless, if the (Palestinian Authority) continues to condemn a (peace)
plan they haven't seen & refuses to engage on it."

Wake up, Mr. Greenblatt.
You and your nazi fuhrer have no credibility. The United States
is not, has not, been an honest broker of peace in the region since 1948.
You and the national socialist, fascist bastard in the Oval Office seek
to force your peace plan and that of the Israeli aggressor you sponsor
on the Palestinians. Not acceptable. Never has been.
Precisely, why there is no peace, will be no peace in the region.
... Too stupid, too clueless to understand this, sir?

"Palestinian leaders cut
ties with the Trump administration after it recognized Jerusalem as Israel's
capital, a city where Palestinians also have claims."

Certainly, did the right
thing. Only thing they could do. Resist. Not capitulate.

"In response to the latest
funding cut announcement, senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat said
Saturday the U.S. was using "sanctions and blackmail to make our people
surrender" and that "clearly this administration has nothing to do with
peace and making peace."

That's right. No
question Sadly, quite the contrary. Trump nazi and his henchmen
remain determined to force the Palestinians to surrender to the Israeli
aggressor. Not going to happen. Will not happen. Will
only lead to more terror, death, and destruction in the region. Aggressive
stupidity at its very worst.

"There was no immediate
comment from Israeli officials."

What could they say?
Why say anything? Forget? Trump nazi and his henchmen are doing
their
will. Remain beholden to the Israeli aggressor.

"Sen. Patrick Leahy, a
Democrat from Vermont, said cutting the money was "reprehensible."

Worse? Stupid.
Achingly, shortsighted.

"Congress wrote this program
in a bi-partisan manner to bring together Israelis and Palestinians," Leahy
told NPR. "What possible good can come from a policy that drives these
people further apart? This is no way to build the trust and confidence
needed for real peace in the Middle East."

Trump nazi and his henchmen,
cannot, will not be confused with the truth. Ludicrously create their
own reality.

Exceptionally telling?
Carefully, consider the following:

"Tim Rieser, an aide to
Sen. Leahy, said Friday that officials from the U.S. Agency for International
Development, or USAID, notified Congress last week that the money cannot
be spent on peace and reconciliation programs bringing Israelis together
with Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza — only on programs inside
Israel for Jews and Palestinian Arab citizens."

Clearly, "The King
has no clothes!" Trump and his henchmen remain in the pocket
of the Israeli aggressor. That money will be used by the aggressor
to further subjugate all Palestinians. Raw nazism. Precisely,
where Nazi Germany stood politically when Adolf Hitler became Chancellor
in 1933. Portend of far, far worse to come.

"Dave Harden, who oversaw
U.S. aid to Palestinians under the Obama administration and now directs
the Georgetown Strategy Group, said this funding cut "puts Israelis and
Palestinians on a collision course for further conflict."

Precisely, what the Trump
nazi, his henchmen, and the Israeli aggressor insanely want.

Cowardly fail to financially
and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional
rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk? Get what you
truly deserve.

Think the Trump nazi capable
of ever smartening up? NPR reports:

"The Trump administration
has announced further cuts in aid to the Palestinians — this time, cutting
money to cover cancer treatments and other critical care for Palestinians
at Jerusalem hospitals. A State Department official told NPR the
administration is pulling $25 million it had planned to give to the East
Jerusalem Hospital Network, a group of six hospitals, some church-run,
providing care primarily to Palestinians. In past years, U.S. funding
covered medical costs for Palestinians to go to these hospitals for treatment
unavailable in the West Bank and Gaza — from cardiac and eye surgeries
to neonatal intensive care and children's dialysis, according to the World
Health Organization."

Here's the egregious aggressive
stupidity:

"President Trump said
he's cut aid for the Palestinians to pressure them on a peace deal with
Israel."

"This is not surprising
at all. Let America know that all these acts will not change our position
toward our cause one bit. On the contrary, it consolidates our positions
toward every issue, including Jerusalem," said Adnan Husseini, Palestinian
Authority minister for Jerusalem affairs."

Worse, incites terrorism.
More killing. Additional violence. Feeds the cycle of vicious
hostility in the region.

"Dave Harden, a former
senior U.S. official overseeing aid to the Palestinians under the Obama
administration, called the funding cut "particularly vindictive." He warned
it could "cause the collapse" of hospitals including Augusta Victoria Hospital,
run by the Lutheran World Federation, and St. John Eye Hospital."

"In a phone call with
U.S. Jewish community leaders and rabbis Thursday ahead of the Jewish new
year, Trump said he's "stopped massive amounts of money" to the Palestinians,
whom he has accused of showing disrespect to the U.S."

The 'president' is too
clueless to understand the United States has NEVER been an honest broker
of peace in the region. It is insane to believe the Palestinians
would have any respect for the United States when it remains solidly
in the pocket of the Israeli aggressor. Been so since 1948.

"Trump is seeking to broker
an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal. But the Palestinian Authority cut ties
with the administration after Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Palestinians also have claims in the city."

"The Palestinian Authority
cut ties with the administration after Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's
capital. Palestinians also have claims in the city."

That's right. A
terrible ongoing injustice since 1948.

"The United States was
paying them tremendous amounts of money," Trump said, according to a White
House transcript of the call. "And I'd say, you'll get money, but we're
not paying you until we make a deal. If we don't make a deal, we're not
paying. And that's going to have a little impact."

Do you truly think everyone
can be bought and paid for, Donny boy? Not everyone is an unprincipled,
amoral, nazi piece of crap like you, sir.

"I said, "By the way,
did you ever do that before?" I said to some of the past negotiators. "Did
you ever do that before? Did you ever use the money angle?" They said,
"No, sir. We thought it would be disrespectful." I said, "I don't think
it's disrespectful at all. I think it's disrespectful when people don't
come to the table," Trump said."

Expect any better of a
simple-minded, achingly clueless, hopelessly narcissistic, nazi fuhrer?
This piece of human excrement is an embarrassment not only to himself,
but our formerly great country.

No end to Trump's aggressive
stupidity, shortsightedness. CBS News reports:

"The Trump administration
has informed the Palestinian government that its primary office in Washington
D.C. will be closed, deepening a rift with the Palestinians and drawing
cries of a "dangerous escalation" from their leadership. The move, which
U.S. officials were yet to confirm on Monday morning, comes after the White
House said over the weekend that it was cutting $25 million in funding
for health services in heavily-Palestinian East Jerusalem. Senior
Palestinian diplomat Dr. Saeb Erekat confirmed in a statement released
Monday that the U.S. government had informed the Palestinian Authority
that the office of the Palestine Liberation Organization, effectively the
Palestinian parliament, would be shuttered. "We have been notified
by a US official of their decision to close the Palestinian Mission to
the US. This is yet another affirmation of the Trump Administration's policy
to collectively punish the Palestinian people, including by cutting financial
support for humanitarian services including health and education," Erekat
said in the statement."

Trump and his henchmen
apparently, ludicrously believe this will lead to capitulation of the Palestinians
to the Israeli aggressor, not more terror in the region.

"Closing the PLO office
in D.C. will leave the Palestinians without a formal presence in the U.S.
capital. Erekat said the "dangerous escalation shows that the US is willing
to disband the international system in order to protect Israeli crimes
and attacks against the land and people of Palestine as well as against
peace and security in the rest of our region."

What webs we weave.
One definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again,
-- expecting a different result. Yet, the United States has been
doing precisely that since 1948.

"The move follows the
State Department's late August announcement that the administration is
slashing more than $200 million in bilateral aid to the Palestinians following
a review that President Donald Trump ordered to ensure the spending was
aligned with U.S. national interests."

"The Palestinians had
held out hope that the hospital money would be spared because it was not
included in the previously announced cut. On Saturday, the Palestinian
Authority denounced the administration's move as "an act of political blackmail."

Proof positive the United
States remains, and has been, in the pocket of the Israeli aggressor since
1948. Has not, and cannot be, an honest, trusted broker of peace
in the Middle East.

The State Department said
the review was intended to make sure the American aid was "being spent
in accordance with U.S. national interests and were providing value to
the U.S. taxpayer."

"The administration "will
be redirecting approximately $25 million originally planned for the East
Jerusalem Hospital Network. Those funds will go to high-priority projects
elsewhere," the department added. It did not identify the projects."

Why not inform the public
as to where you're going to squander this money, Donny boy?

"In response, Palestine
Liberation Organization executive committee member Hanan Ashrawi accused
the administration of threatening to cause "serious instability and grave
harm" to thousands of patients and their families across the West Bank
and Gaza Strip, and jeopardize the livelihood of thousands of workers in
the Palestinian health care sector."

Our nazi fuhrer
couldn't care less.

"Such an act of political
blackmail goes against the norms of human decency and morality," Ashrawi
said in a statement. "Politics should not trump humanity or harm a vulnerable
people in need of support and protection."

Not how things work any
longer in our formerly great country. Quite some time.

"The administration announced
the original cut in U.S. aid to Palestinians as Mr. Trump and his Middle
East advisers prepared to release the U.S. peace plan for Israel and the
Palestinians."

Non-sequitur. What
does the latter have to do with the former? LOL. Not only that,
sheer stupidity for two reasons. First, delusionally believe the
Palestinians are going to accept peace on U.S. terms when our fuhrer
has cut aid? Second, who the hell is the United States to dictate
peace terms to the Palestinians on behalf of the Israeli aggressor?

Ferociously pointedly,
why stupidly ensure more unrest, lest stability, and worst of all, more
terror in the region, Donny boy? Further proof positive you remain
unfit for office, Mr. 'President.'

ABC News reports:

"The Trump administration
is closing the Palestinian mission in the U.S. capital because the PLO
has attempted to get an international court to prosecute Israel for alleged
war crimes, according to multiple administration officials. A provision
in a U.S. law says the PLO mission must close if the Palestinians try to
get the International Criminal Court to prosecute Israelis for crimes against
Palestinians."

Convenient, isn't it?
Again, proof positive the United States is not, has not been, and cannot
be an honest broker of peace in the Middle East. Zero credibility.

"This is yet another affirmation
of the Trump administration's policy to collectively punish the Palestinian
people, including by cutting financial support for humanitarian services
including health and education," Palestinian official Saeb Erekat said."

Think Russia won't be
more than willing to fill the void at some point? Especially, since
the brutal Assad dictator seems to have won the war in Syria with Russian
help. What webs we weave.

"Closing the PLO mission
in Washington almost certainly will stiffen the Palestinians' opposition
to any Trump peace plan now being worked on by President Donald Trump's
Middle East point men, Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt. The Palestinian
leadership has been openly hostile to any proposal from the administration,
citing what it says is a pro-Israel bias."

"One issue the U.S. has
had with support for the Palestinian Authority had been its stipends paid
to the families of Palestinians killed, injured or jailed for attacks on
Israel. Israel and the Trump administration, have repeatedly demanded that
those payments from a so-called "martyrs' fund" be halted because they
encourage terrorism. PLO President Mahmoud Abbas has refused to do so."

If the United States had
not blindly supported the Israeli aggressor no matter what it did and/or
didn't do since 1948, this would not have been an issue. Blind support
of the Israeli aggressor by the United States all these decades is directly
responsible for terror in the region. Root cause. An
inconvenient truth our government has been most gutlessly unwilling to
admit since 1948.

"Trump during the 2016
presidential campaign promised to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to
contested Jerusalem. The consulate opened in May with a star-studded reception
that included the president's daughter, Ivanka and Kushner, as well as
Israel's top leaders."

Haughty, Aryan arrogant
nazism displayed by Trump, his family, and Israeli war criminals.
Highly reminiscent of Nazi Germany, circa 1933, when Hitler took office
as Chancellor, the Nazi Fuhrer.

"Israel killed more than
60 Palestinians, including a 14-year-old girl, during protests that followed.
It was the bloodiest day since a war between Hamas and Israel ended in
2014. Israel said it is defending its border and accuses Hamas, the
Islamic militant group that rules Gaza, of trying to carry out attacks
under the cover of the protests."

More unadulterated horse
shit, re-write of history. Had the Israeli aggressor not stolen Palestine
from the Palestinians in 1948 with the aid and blessing of the United States,
Europe, and the United Nations, not done so without prior consultation
of the Palestinians, all of this could have been avoided.

"PLO Executive Committee
Member Dr. Hanan Ashrawi called the U.S. policy "blackmail" that "once
again seeks to punish the Palestinian people as a whole who are already
victims of the ruthless Israeli military occupation."

Consider the following.
Most remarkable. A change in thinking by young Jews in the United
States vis a vis Israeli treatment of the Palestinians. Indeed, a
welcome breath of fresh air. Ray of hope. NBC News reports:

"For nearly 20 years,
the Birthright program has been a rite of passage for hundreds of thousands
of young American Jews, who get a free trip to Israel along with a tour
that shows the country in a very positive light."

Remarkable change:

"But in recent weeks,
the same discomfort that many Americans Jews feel about the current Israeli
government, and in particular its continued occupation of the West Bank,
has been reflected in some of the tours. An American anti-occupation group,
called IfNotNow, has organized walkouts by a few Birthright participants,
hoping the resultant publicity will inspire other young tourists to make
the same gesture, and pressure American Jews to reassess their support
for Israeli policies."

"In June, that led to
a chaotic scene on one of the tour buses. Bethany Zaiman of Washington
stood up and announced that she and four others would leave the bus to
“learn about the occupation from the perspective of Palestinians,” and
would visit the West Bank."

Stunning, isn't it?
Certainly, rattled the cage of her guide:

"The Israeli tour guide
interrupted her several times, and — as seen on a video that was shown
on Facebook on June 28 — erupted as the group was leaving. “No Palestinian
is going to send me away from here!” the guide said."

If it does not make peace
with the Palestinians, Israel will sadly, ultimately wind up in the sea.
The American public at some point will finally wake up. When that
happens, financial support from the United States will end. Israel
on its own, without American support, will likely succumb to its enemies
in the region. Massively, outnumbered. Use of its nuclear arsenal
would only decimate the entire region.

"Moments later, a male
Birthright participant wearing a white T-shirt and holding what appears
to be an American flag, pointed at Zaiman and said: “Guess what’s going
to happen. You’re going to get killed, you’re going to get raped.”
IfNotNow helped stage another walk-off on video a few weeks later. The
second group left a Birthright tour and visited a Palestinian family in
danger of being evicted from their home in eastern Jerusalem, which was
occupied along with the rest of the West Bank in 1967 after the Six-Day
War with Israel’s Arab neighbors. Though only a few participants
have engaged in walk-offs, the protests have been widely shared on social
media and have helped shine a light on the growing disillusionment with
Israel that many young American Jews feel."

No question, a hopeful
sign. Usually, only the young affect desperately needed change.

"Dubbed radical, anti-Israel
and anti-Semitic by some critics, members of IfNotNow say they are tapping
into anger at established U.S. Jewish institutions such as Birthright,
which they say have hidden the reality of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian
territories, and acted as apologists for a government that has increasingly
moved to the hard right. (The group takes its name from a well-known saying
of the ancient Rabbi Hillel: “If not now, when?”)

Badly needed breath of
fresh air.

"Birthright is “so afraid
of the occupation that they’re trying to hide it” from young American Jews,
said IfNotNow member Clare Jordan, who was one of a group of activists
who came up with the #NotJustAFreeTrip campaign. Meanwhile, Zaiman,
who had started getting involved with IfNotNow just before taking the trip
to Israel, told NBC News that all her “requests to meet Palestinians were
ignored” by Birthright. A spokesman for Birthright Israel denied
the organization had a political agenda."

Like the Trump nazi, lies
like hell.

"Jordan said it was her
Jewish identity and values she was raised with that led her to IfNotNow.
She and her sister Leah Jordan — a rabbi who is also active in progressive
circles — were raised to love Israel, she said. The family attended synagogue
regularly and the sisters went to Jewish summer camp. “I grew up
feeling deeply Jewish,” said Jordan, 29-year-old Kansas City native who
recently moved to Jerusalem to study Arabic. But in her teens, Jordan
realized that not all was how it had been explained to her at camp and
in the synagogue, she said."

Has also become quite
obvious to those of us not Jewish, but who supported Israel for decades
before finally waking up to the truth.

"For her, a change of
perspective came during a trip to Hebron, a Palestinian city with a population
of over 150,000 in the West Bank. Hundreds of Jewish settlers, who trace
the Jewish presence in the city back to the Old Testament, are guarded
by Israeli soldiers who, according to rights activists, regularly and unnecessarily
raid Palestinian homes. Over the decades, Palestinian streets have been
cleared, shops shuttered and homes emptied, with some areas cleared of
any Arab presence. “All it took was a split second and I realized
this was not a conflict — it was a brutal occupation,” Jordan said of her
visit to the city."

Exactly, right.
Time for change. Before too late.

"According to Rabbi Sharon
Brous of Los Angeles, who leads a progressive non-denominational congregation
in Los Angeles, IfNotNow is part of a generational shift among Jewish Americans
who are alienated by signs of growing illiberalism in Israel.

“How could it be that
my sweet Jewish democratic Israel is now detaining journalists at the border
and not letting people into the country and interrogating people based
on their political views?” she asked, referring to the recent detention
and questioning of Jewish journalists and activists as they arrived or
left the country."

Sadly, tragically, Israel,
like the United States, is nazifying.

"Among these was Peter
Beinart, a prominent liberal American journalist who says he was held and
interrogated about his contacts and activities at Ben Gurion Airport in
early August. Netanyahu later said the detention was a mistake. The
change in attitudes among American Jews has traditionally not burst into
the open because criticizing the state of Israel has long been anathema
to community leaders, said Brous. “There is a tremendous fear about
speaking honestly and openly about these Israeli, about Palestinians struggles,
about these complexities, because you could lose your job,” she said. “In
the name of loving Israel, we have created a firewall to protect Israeli
politicians and Israeli policies that I believe are ultimately undermining
Israel’s Jewish and democratic nature.”

Exactly, right.
Terrifying. Both the United States and Israel appear to be exactly
where Nazi Germany was politically when Hitler became Chancellor in 1933.

"Another example of what
many on the left consider to be an illiberal trend is the list of 20 organizations
Israel has banned from entering the country because, the government says,
they back the BDS movement, which supports boycotts, divestment, and sanctions
on Israel. While it has been fiercely resisted by Israeli officials, it
continues to make headway. Last week the pop singer Lana Del Rey became
one of many performers to cancel appearances in the country, in her case
at a major music festival."

Will certainly increase
pressure on the Israeli aggressor.

"Even prominent mainstream
Jewish leaders in the U.S. are starting to publicly criticize Israel’s
government. On Aug. 13, Ronald Lauder — president of the World Jewish
Congress — wrote an op-ed article in The New York Times listing a litany
of complaints and government U-turns, including the controversial nation-state
law which many believe demotes non-Jewish minorities to second-class citizens.
“These events are creating the impression that the democratic and egalitarian
dimensions of the Jewish democratic state are being tested,” he wrote."

Indeed.

"Another Jewish figure
who was recently detained and questioned was Simone Zimmerman, a co-founder
of IfNotNow who was stopped on the Egypt-Israel border in early August.
“They asked me if I knew Palestinians repeatedly,” she said. “In their
eyes, knowing Palestinians, caring about Palestinians, having anything
to do with Palestinians is a threat.” The incident, which lasted
several hours and was a “warning,” should be put into context, she said
because non-Jewish travelers regularly endure far worse treatment."

Highly reminiscent of
Hitler's Nazis in 1933. Portend of far worse to come.

Palestinians continue
to stand tall. Against the Israeli aggressor as well as the Trump
nazi. The Washington Post reports:

"A decision to end all
U.S. funding for the United Nations program aiding millions of Palestinian
refugees will not bring an end to their belief in the “right to return”
to land that is now part of Israel, Palestinians said Friday. The
Trump administration is expected to announce in the coming weeks that it
is stopping its contributions to the more than $1 billion annual cost of
the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, a U.S. official told The Washington
Post this week. The administration will also call for a reduction
in the number of Palestinians officially recognized as refugees, from the
more than 5 million who are counted today to the few hundred thousand alive
when the agency was created seven decades ago, the official said."

Readers are reminded this
land was stolen from the Palestinians in 1948 by the United States, Europe,
and the United Nations, summarily bequeathed to survivors of the Holocaust
without consultation, negotiation, and agreement of those from whom the
land was taken. Blatant, shameless, unabashed theft.

"The pullback is part
of the administration’s efforts to recalculate U.S. foreign aid spending.
It is also a response, in the words of Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador
to the United Nations, to continued Palestinian hostility toward America,
which has intensified following U.S. policy changes that Palestinians deem
pro-Israeli."

Haley, the Trump nazi,
and the rest of his henchmen can't, won't be confused by the truth.

"Palestinians, who remain
angry over a decision by Trump to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
and transfer the U.S. Embassy there, said the administration’s moves would
have little impact on their right to return to the land they lost when
Israel was created in 1948. Saeb Erekat, secretary general of the
Palestine Liberation Organization, said the Trump administration had disqualified
itself from having a role in any future peace process."

The United States has
never ever never been an honest broker of peace in the region. As
always, been in the pocket of the Israeli aggressor.

“By cutting aid, the U.S.
is violating international law,” Erekat said. He argued that “UNRWA is
not a Palestinian agency” but was established by the United Nations, “and
there is an international obligation to assist and support it until all
the problems of the Palestinian refugees are solved.”

The United States does
as it pleases. Usually, with impunity. Often becomes a law
unto itself. Particularly, under the Trump nazi.

"Erekat added: “Some may
argue that it is U.S. taxpayers’ money and that it is up to them how it
is spent. But by the same token, who gave Trump the damn right to steal
my land and my capital and my future and my aspirations and my freedom
by deciding to blindly support the occupying power called Israel?”

Exactly right. Might
makes right. Forget?

"On a practical level,
Erekat also predicted that the end of UNRWA would spell disaster for all
the places where large numbers of Palestinians refugees reside, leaving
them at risk for recruitment by extremist groups such as the Islamic
State."

What webs we weave.
We consistently put our noses where they don't belong. Then, bemoan
the terror this generates. Think we'll ever learn?

Shoot to kill or maim
a Palestinian in occupied territory if you're an Israeli soldier, guess
what? You're considered a hero. Slap and kick an Israeli soldier
if you're a 17-year-old Palestinian girl, guess what? Do eight months
in an Israeli prison gulag. Anything wrong with this picture?
Anything at all?

NPR reports:

"Seventeen-year-old Palestinian
activist Ahed Tamimi has been released from Israeli prison after serving
an eight-month sentence for slapping Israeli soldiers during a confrontation
that went viral on the Internet. The teen has become a symbol of resistance
for many Palestinians; for many Israelis, she's seen as a provocateur."

Since when is it a crime
to fight for liberation of territory held by the Israeli aggressor the
last seventy years? ... After Israelite ancestors of that
very same aggressor lost it for generations due to their excesses.
-- Only for survivors of the Nazi Holocaust to be conveniently bequeathed
it by the United States, the United Nations, and Europe in 1948. Ironically,
Nazi justice. Immediately after Hitler and his bastards had just
been defeated.

"Tamini was greeted by
jubilant crowds in her village of Nabi Saleh, in the Israeli-occupied West
Bank, as she smiled and embraced family members. "Power to the people,"
she said. "The people can decide their way of resistance." Tamimi called
for continued resistance to Israeli occupation. Last year, her mother
posted a video on social media that showed her kicking and slapping Israeli
soldiers outside her family home. It went viral and led to her arrest in
December. Her trial opened in February at an Israeli military court and
in March she agreed to plead guilty to charges including assault."

Big mistake. Should
have told the Israeli aggressor to go to hell. Chosen to rot in the
Israeli gulag for however long it took to get the message across.
Insult to injury, her mother did the same amount of time in an Israeli
gulag for posting the video. Jesus Christ. Touchy, aren't
they? LOL.

"As part of her agreement,
Tamimi pleaded guilty to four counts of assault, including the videotaped
slapping of an Israeli soldier," according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
"In addition to the eight month jail sentence, she was to pay a fine of
5,000 shekels ($1,437)." Her mother Nariman was also released on Sunday."

"Asked if she'd do it
again — slap the soldiers the way she did — Tamimi said she couldn't say
much for fear of re-arrest. "I hope that the occupation will be gone so
I won't even think about doing these things again," she added."

That's not going to happen
any time soon. Until the government of the United States finally
wakes up, stops supporting the Israeli aggressor, nothing will change.
Sadly, there will be more unwanted dreaded carnage. ... Think Texans
themselves wouldn't fight like hell if Mexico attempted to retake our state?
Think armed Texans would wait for the U.S. military to arrive?

"Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas met with Tamimi and her family after her release. According
to a statement released by the official Wafa news agency, Abbas "praised
Ahed and described her as a model of the Palestinian struggle for freedom,
independence and statehood."

That's right. We're
on the wrong side of history. Perpetrating an unspeakable injustice
on the Palestinians. Fueling ongoing conflict in the region.
When will we smarten up? This could have been handled far differently
in 1948. Should have been fully negotiated by all parties including
the Palestinians. Should have been able to find a way to live side
by side in the region. Instead, Israel will ultimately lose at some
point in the future.

"Tamimi's protest gained
international attention and many human rights groups were critical of her
detention. Amnesty International called her release "welcome news" but
stressed that other Palestinian minors are facing difficult circumstances
in Israeli prisons."

Their gulags are no better
than ours in Nazi America. ... Right, Sheriff?

"Ahed Tamimi's release
must not obscure the familiar and continuing story of the Israeli military
using discriminatory policies to lock up Palestinian children," said Saleh
Higazi, the head of Amnesty's Jerusalem office. "Her unjust imprisonment
is a reminder of how the Israeli occupation uses the arbitrary military
courts to punish those who challenge the occupation and illegal settlements
expansion policies, without any regard to age."

Same happens right here
in Nazi America. ... Right, Sheriff? No justice.

The Israeli aggressor
remains hopelessly clueless:

"Israeli Cabinet minister
Uri Ariel told The Associated Press that he thinks Israel should respond
more strictly. "I
think Israel acts too mercifully with these types of terrorists. Israel
should treat harshly those who hit its soldiers," he told the wire service.
"We can't have a situation where there is no deterrence. Lack of deterrence
leads to the reality we see now ... we must change that."

No, Mr. Ariel. Wake
up. It's blatant theft of Palestinian land 70 years ago, land
your ancestors rightfully lost generations ago, that is the problem.
Prime mover in this ongoing struggle. Precisely, why the State of
Israel will likely, needlessly, sadly be destroyed at some point in the
future when the United States finally wakes up. Withdraws all financial
and military support. Your nuclear stockpile won't be enough to ensure
your survival. Will only take everyone in the region down with you.

"Ahed's father Bassem
Tamimi, who is also a well-known activist, has told NPR that her altercation
with soldiers happened shortly after her cousin was shot in the head with
rubber bullet as he was climbing the wall of a complex that Israeli soldiers
had taken control of. He said her protest was an understandable response
to growing up watching her relatives be killed and wounded."

The Israeli aggressor
is not just using rubber bullets. Wake up. We're on the wrong
side of history. That entire region is a powder keg. No good
will come of any of this. Just more misery and death. More
injustice. No peace.

Fiasco in Gaza continues.
CBS News reports:

"Israeli troops fired
live rounds and tear gas as thousands of Palestinians protested near the
Gaza border fence Friday, and at least four demonstrators were killed,
including a teenage boy, with over 600 wounded, Gaza health officials said.
More than 100 of the wounded, including a photographer for the French news
agency Agence Press France, were hit by live fire, the officials added,
as the demonstrators burned tires, threw stones and flew flaming kites
in the latest in a series of mass protests to call attention to a decade-old
blockade of Gaza by Israel and Egypt."

Cowardly fail to financially
and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional

More of the same.
NBC reports:

"Israel carried out airstrikes
on Hamas sites in Gaza early Thursday, hours after the militant organization
said most of the protesters killed by Israeli fire this week were its members."

Think so? All those
men, women and children? Believe it? Indeed, convenient propaganda
for both Hamas and the Israeli aggressor. Certainly, suits both their
agendas, doesn't it? Worse? Ignores reality the last seventy
years in the region.

"Salah Bardawil, a senior
Hamas official, told Palestinian news outlet Baladna TV that 50 out of
the 60 who died on Monday were members of his organization, while the rest
were civilians."

That the case? Then,
why were nearly all of them unarmed?

"Hamas won elections in
2006 and has run Gaza since the end of a violent power struggle the following
year. Israel has long argued that Hamas has used the protests, which
began on March 30, as cover for terrorist attacks or attempts to infiltrate
its border."

Convenient for the Israeli
aggressor, isn't it? Anything to divert attention to the ongoing
atrocity perpetrated by the aggressor the last seventy years. Forget?
These bastards invaded, stole Palestinian land seventy years ago.
With the blessing of the United States, the UN, and Europe. Have
been stealing additional land and killing Palestinians ever since.

"Human rights groups say
an affiliation with a militant group is irrelevant if they were unarmed
and did not pose an immediate threat to the lives of soldiers when they
were shot."

That's right. Netanyahu
and his henchmen need to be hauled to The Hague and prosecuted.

"Bardawil did not elaborate
on whether the 50 were fighters or associates, and his number could not
be verified. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted
that his country's military had “similar figures” and would continue its
action along the border."

Neither Hamas or the Israeli
aggressor can or will be confused by the truth.

“They are not defending
us from some civilian demonstrations,” he wrote. “This is a warlike move
by Hamas. That is why Israel will continue to defend itself for as long
as necessary and will not allow those who call for its destruction to storm
its borders and threaten our communities.”

Wake up, Mr. Prime
Minister. You and your henchmen are no different than your German
Nazi oppressors, circa 1933. Certainly, no less evil than your Nazi
oppressors at the beginning of Hitler's Third Reich. Clearly,
the worst is yet to come.

"Protesters are demanding
that Israel allows the millions of Palestinians whose families left or
were forcibly removed from Israel at its founding to return. Refugees and
their descendants make up more than two-thirds of Gaza's population."

Sadly, the above is precisely
why there will be no end to the violence any time soon.

Cowardly fail to financially
and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional
rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk? Get what you
truly deserve.

The Israeli aggressor
is increasingly out of control. CBS News reports:

"Thousands of Palestinians
gathered Friday at Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip, near the border fence
that separates the Palestinian territory from Israel. CBS News correspondent
Holly Williams said their anger and frustration was plain to see."

Indeed. The region
remains a powder keg.

"For six weeks they've
held these demonstrations, charging at the fence that cuts the Palestinians
of Gaza off from the outside world because of a more-than-10-year blockade
which has exacerbated their poverty."

-- An Israeli boot heel
on the throats of the Palestinians.

"The Israelis have responded
to the protesters hurling rocks, Molotov cocktails and burning tires with
bullets and tear gas. They've killed at least 41 and injured almost 2,000
since the protests began on March 30. Gaza Health Ministry
said one Palestinian was killed and 49 were wounded by Israeli army fire
on Friday. Many of the Palestinian protesters are peaceful,
and Israel says it only targets protesters who threaten the border."

Like the Trump nazi, the
Israeli aggressor remains a congenital liar.

"In a statement on Friday,
the Israel Defense Forces said about 5,000 Palestinians were taking part
in "riots" along the border. "The rioters are violent, burning tires
and hurling rocks at the security fence and at IDF soldiers and launching
kites with burning items attached to them with the intention of igniting
fires in Israeli territory. IDF troops are responding with riot dispersal
means and are firing in accordance with the rules of engagement," the Israeli
military said, vowing to defend the border "and ensure the security of
the citizens of Israel and Israeli sovereignty, as necessary."

What the Israelis are
doing is gutlessly murdering, deliberately maiming Palestinians.

"The Palestinians want
the right to return to land they were forced to leave behind in 1948 when
the state of Israeli was formed. There are about 2 million Palestinians
living in Gaza, and two-thirds of them are refugees or decedents of refugees.
The protests will culminate next Tuesday, May 15, on the 70th anniversary
of the founding of the Israel -- a day the Palestinians refer to as "an-Nakba,"
or "the catastrophe." The Hamas militant group's leader in the Gaza
Strip said Thursday that protesters would be unarmed and peaceful next
week, but he also compared them to a "starving tiger," and held out the
possibility that tens of thousands of people could try to burst through
the fence and swarm into Israel."

Should that happen, the
Israeli aggressor will wholesale murder them.

"While Yehiyeh Sinwar
repeatedly said he hoped to avoid bloodshed, he gave no indication that
his group would try to hold back the expected large crowds -- a scenario
that could trigger a potentially lethal Israeli response. In his
first meeting with foreign press since taking office last year, Sinwar
said residents of blockaded Gaza are so desperate their actions are impossible
to predict. He also claimed that Israel's borders are not internationally
recognized and do not have to be respected."

If not, your people will
be murdered by the Israelis.

"What's the problem if
hundreds of thousands storm this fence which is not a border of a state?
What's the problem with that?" he said."

Your people will be murdered
by the Israeli aggressor. Should that happen, think the Trump nazi
won't be in full support of Netanyahu?

"Israel has said it will
defend its border. It accuses Hamas of exploiting civilians and using the
chaotic scenes to stage attacks. Sinwar said the demonstrations were
aimed at breaking the blockade, and also as a protest against Monday's
planned move of the U.S. Embassy to contested Jerusalem."

Insult to injury?
NPR reports:

"Come Monday, Jerusalem
will be the official home of the U.S. Embassy to Israel.

"By recognizing Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel and the seat of its government, we're recognizing
reality," said new Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a May meeting with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."

What you and your fuhrer
are doing is determinedly, concertedly distorting it. Imposing a
de facto settlement on the Palestinians.

"When Trump declared last
year that the U.S. Embassy would be relocated — "the beginning of a new
approach to conflict between Israel and the Palestinians" — it triggered
both euphoria and condemnation."

What it did is ensure
there will be no peace.

"The United Nations General
Assembly voted 128-9 to reject the Trump administration's decision to recognize
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and approved a nonbinding resolution
for countries to avoid moving their embassies to the city."

Remarkably, the UN stepped
up. Unlike the Israeli aggressor and the Trump nazi, demonstrated
some semblance of sanity.

"In the Gaza Strip, protesters
immediately took to the streets to denounce the move and burn Israeli and
American flags. "This is a black day for peace in the Middle East," Husam
Zomlot, the Palestinian ambassador to the U.S., told NPR."

What it does is exacerbate
an untenable, unsustainable status quo.

"On Wednesday, Yahya Sinwar,
the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, said that protests on the Israeli
border will be "decisive" and that Hamas leaders "are ready to die along
with tens of thousands," reported The Times of Israel."

That would be a terrible
mistake. Horrific loss of life. The U.S. will eventually come
to its senses. -- Despite the fact we've been out to lunch vis a
vis this issue 70 years. Eventually, we will smarten up. Realize
the horrible mistake made all these decades. When that happens, there
will be change.

"But U.S. Ambassador to
Israel David Friedman praised the move from the first day, taking to Twitter
to say, "Today .@POTUS displayed the ultimate test of leadership and courage
by standing up for what's just and true, even in the face of stiff opposition.
Jerusalem is Israel's capital today as it was 3000 years ago. Congratulations
to .@realDonaldTrump for this historic decision."

This isn't 3000 years
ago. Appalling, unadulterated horse shit. What we have here
is a fascist dictator in what used to be a democratic republic imposing
de facto settlement terms on the Palestinians. This stupidly ensures
continuing violence.

Insult to injury? 1984
double-speak? Get this:

"By taking the long-overdue
step of moving our embassy, we are not taking a position on final status
issues. We are not taking a position on the specific boundaries of Israeli
sovereignty in Jerusalem, nor on the resolution of contested borders. Those
questions are up to the parties involved. We remain committed to advancing
an agreement between the parties that leads to a lasting and comprehensive
peace," Edgar Vasquez, spokesman for the State Department's Bureau of Near
Eastern Affairs, told NPR."

Disingenuous bullshit.
This man is either delusional or a liar. This is de facto imposition
of a settlement by the Trump nazi and his henchmen that guaranties unending
violence.

The slaughter continues.
NPR reports:

"Tens of thousands of
Palestinians are protesting the opening of the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem,
and Israeli army forces have killed 43 protesters, according to the Gaza
Health Ministry. The ministry also says some 2,200 people have been hurt
in demonstrations and clashes. More than 35,000 people are protesting
along the Gaza border, the Israel Defense Forces say. The army says it
killed three protesters who were trying to set a bomb next to the security
fence in Rafah. It's the most deaths in one day the area has seen since
the summer of 2014, when more than 2,000 Palestinians died. The number
of casualties rose steadily on Monday, as the opening of the American embassy
at 4 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET) neared. The health ministry published
a list of the dead, showing that their ages ranged from 14 to 39 years
old."

Sadly, tragically, catastrophically,
this is likely the beginning of far, far worse to come.

"As news of the violence
spread, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres – who is slated to visit
President Trump in Washington on Friday – said he is "particularly worried"
about what he called "the high number of people killed," according to the
AP. The embassy's controversial opening comes as Israel marks its
creation 70 years ago – an event that Palestinians refer to as Nakba –
Catastrophe – because that development also turned more than 700,000 Palestinians
into refugees. "A great day for Israel!" President Trump tweeted
on Monday. He also told his followers to watch Fox News for coverage of
the embassy's opening."

Once again, the Trump
nazi has disgraced himself and our formerly great country.

The following quote is
highly representative of precisely how perverse, achingly psychotic the
Israeli aggressor has become:

"Discussing the dozens
of deaths today, Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said that
the rising number "doesn't indicate anything – just as the number of Nazis
who died in the World War doesn't make Nazism something you can explain
or understand. There is one truth."

Jesus Christ. Like
Bebe Netanyahu, this man has lost his mind. He's insane. Quote
is a non-sequitur. The Israelis have become so deluded they fail
to see they're quickly becoming to the Palestinians what their German Nazi
oppressors were to them circa 1933 at the beginning of the Third Reich.

Insult to injury?
Height of delusion? Get this:

"That quote comes from
Haaretz, which says Erdan also blames Hamas for encouraging a "cynical
and malicious use of bloodshed."

Pot calling the kettle
black.

"Both Israelis and Palestinians
claim Jerusalem as their capital. Trump announced last December that he
would break with the consensus of America's allies and decades of tradition
by recognizing Jerusalem as the official capital, and moving the embassy
there from Tel Aviv."

Trump is directly responsible
for this latest round of carnage.

"The rioters are hurling
firebombs & explosive devices, burning tires, throwing rocks, &
attempting to ignite fires in Israeli territory," the army said via Twitter.
"IDF troops are responding with riot dispersal means and fire, and are
operating according to standard operating procedures."

What your troops are doing
is murdering Palestinians. Have been murdering Palestinians since
invading their land in 1948, killing them ever since. Stealing ever
more territory. This land was lost generations ago due to excesses
perpetrated by the Israelites. You continue to re-write history.
Seem to think you're entitled to this land by divine right. That's
delusional.

"We are witnessing an
abhorrent violation of international law & human rights in Gaza," Amnesty
International said of Monday's violence. The organization says six of the
dead are under 18 years old, and more than 500 people were wounded by live
ammunition, adding, "This must end immediately."

Sadly, it will not.
This insanity will only end when the American public finally wakes up.
Fully understands it's been bamboozled. Withdraws all aid and assistance
to the Israeli aggressor. Cuts off all trade with the aggressor.
Encourages the world to do the same. Until that happens, nothing
changes.

"As NPR's Camila Domonoske
reported when Trump announced the change in December, the president said
that "his announcement does not mean the U.S. is taking a position on any
possible future peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians or
on the 'final status' of Jerusalem after such talks."

Delusional horse shit.
Trump has, in effect, imposed a settlement. To claim otherwise is
to deny reality and intent. ... Despite all lies to the contrary.
His following statement is proof positive:

"Today we finally acknowledge
the obvious," Trump said. "This is nothing more or less than a recognition
of reality."

Read it a second time.
He's desperately attempting to impose a settlement on the Palestinians.
Has egregiously failed. Precisely, why the Israelis are murdering
them on the border en masse.

The Israeli aggressor
clearly understands brown-nosing works on the Trump nazi:

"To thank Trump for his
decision, Jerusalem's mayor, Nir Barkat, renamed a square near the new
U.S. outpost. Secretary Mnuchin received a plaque today bearing its new
name: "United States Square in honor of President Donald J. Trump."

Jesus Christ. Give
me a break. LOL. Shameless.

Great evil. More
of the same. A Catch-22. NPR reports:

"President Trump's decision
to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital has removed the Palestinians'
"right of veto" on the move and allowed the parties to focus on more important
issues, the U.S. ambassador to Israel tells NPR."

Consider his convoluted
'reasoning':

"David Friedman, in an
interview with Morning Edition, says he believes, as does the president,
that such a veto was for the Palestinians "an inappropriate card to play."

Think so? Here comes
the rabid insanity:

"I think the move is going
to permit the parties to focus on the issues that are first of all important
and second of all solvable," Friedman tells host Steve Inskeep. "What
the president did when he made this decision was to remove from the Palestinians
the right to veto recognition by the United States and other countries
of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel," he said."

He's delusional.
The Palestinians no longer are at the table. Will not return in the
near future, -- if at all. Rightfully, claim the United States is
not an honest broker of peace. We're not. Have not been since
1948. Clearly, the Palestinians prefer to die fighting the Israeli
aggressor at the fence. Think the murder of these people by the Israeli
aggressor is not doing great damage to Israel in the world community?

"Friedman says the Jerusalem
question was standing in the way of "legitimate points" on the Palestinian
side of negotiations. "Palestinians have legitimate issues. They
have," he said without elaborating on them. "They have arguments that they
have advanced [and] they will continue to advance." Arguing that
Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel is "just not ... a fair point for
them to make," he said."

It's commandeered territory
captured during the 1967 War. To say nothing of that stolen in 1948
at the time of the invasion. If at least part of it is not returned,
there will be no peace. Clearly, Friedman is too delusional to understand
this.

CBS News reports:

"Saeb Erekat, a senior
Abbas aide, blasted the Trump administration Monday, saying Mr. Trump had
violated a promise to hold off on moving the embassy to give peace talks
a chance and that his administration is "based on lies." Erekat said
the Trump administration has "become part of the problem, not part of the
solution." He suggested Mr. Trump's Mideast team was unqualified, saying
"the world needs real leaders, and those (White House officials) are real
estate dealers, not leaders."

"Protester Mohammed Hamami,
40, said the march was a "message to Israel and its allies that we will
never give up on our land." Most Gaza residents are descendants of refugees
from the Mideast war over Israel's 1948 creation. Gaza's Hamas rulers
said tens of thousands were expected to head to the border Monday and raised
the possibility of large crowds breaking through the fence. With
Israel and Hamas digging in, there has been growing concern about large
numbers of casualties. Monday's march is part of a weekslong campaign,
led by Hamas and fueled by despair among Gaza's 2 million people, to break
the decade-old border blockade of the territory by Israel and Egypt."

We're on the wrong side
of history. Will wind up profoundly regretting it. Horrendous
injustice.

"Netanyahu praised Mr.
Trump's "bold decision" in upending decades of U.S. policy by recognizing
Jerusalem as Israel's capital. "It's the right thing to do," a smiling
Netanyahu told the jubilant crowd at a reception in Jerusalem late Sunday."

What it does is guaranty
endless violence.

"Although Mr. Trump has
said his declaration does not set the final borders of the city, his recognition
of Jerusalem as Israel's capital has been perceived by both Israel and
the Palestinians as taking Israel's side in the most sensitive issue in
their conflict. Only two countries, Guatemala and Paraguay, have said they
will follow suit. Most of the world maintains embassies in Tel Aviv, saying
the Jerusalem issue must first be resolved. In a reflection of the
deep sensitivities, dozens of countries -- including Britain, France and
Germany -- skipped a celebration Sunday night at the Israeli Foreign Ministry."

The Washington Post
reports:

"At the barrier, young
men threw stones and tried to launch kites carrying flames in hopes of
burning crops on the other side. Most of the demonstrators, though, were
peaceful, protesting the loss of their homes and villages and the embassy
move. Occasional sporadic gunfire could be heard over the noise of
the crowd, and a constant stream of ambulances roared back and forth from
the fence, ferrying away the wounded."

Uncommon Valor:

"Nirma Attalah, 29, said
the deaths were just galvanizing Gaza residents to keep on demonstrating
despite weeks of losses. “My brother was shot in the head in this
place,” she said, adding that it was two weeks earlier. She had come on
Monday with her whole extended family to the protest. “We are here
for Jerusalem, for Palestinian land,” she said."

"Israel dropped leaflets
urging Palestinians to stay away from the fence. “Save your lives
and work on building your futures,” the leaflets said."

There is no future for
the Palestinians. You've stolen their land. Continue to steal
additional land. Continue to murder and maim them. You are
no better than your German Nazi oppressors circa 1933 at the beginning
of Hitler's Third Reich. Clearly, far worse is yet to come.

“People have come out
of the rubble to say we will not forget our rights,” said Yousef Abu Saleh,
25. “The American administration is adopting the Israeli story and stealing
our right of return.” While some said they would abide by official
calls to keep the demonstrations peaceful, others talked about their enthusiasm
to break into Israel and wreak havoc. “We are excited to storm and
get inside,” said 23-year-old Mohammed Mansoura. When asked what he would
do inside Israel, he said, “Whatever is possible, to kill, throw stones.”

The Israelis will be dealing
with this indefinitely.

"The Israel Defense Forces
said at least 35,000 people were protesting in 12 different places along
the fence — more than twice as many locations as in past weeks of protest.
“Especially violent riots” took place near the southern Gazan city of Rafah,
where three people were killed after trying to plant an explosive, the
army added. The military also said it would “act forcefully against
any terrorist activity,” and it carried out an airstrike on Hamas military
posts in northern Gaza after its troops came under fire."

The Israeli aggressor
has itself become the epitome of terrorism:

"Before Monday, Israeli
snipers had already killed nearly 50 Palestinians in the unrest at the
fence, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and wounded 2,240 more."

Didn't end there:

"The embassy move has
added extra friction to what was already a highly charged week. Scuffles
broke out in Jerusalem’s Old City on Sunday as Israelis celebrated the
“reunification” of the city, an annexation not recognized internationally.
The opening of the embassy on Monday is followed by Nakba Day on Tuesday
— when Palestinians mark the anniversary of mass expulsions and flight
that displaced an estimated 700,000 people when Israel was founded 70 years
ago.

"The result has been the
incongruous juxtaposition of a star-studded gala, including first daughter
Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, in Jerusalem while Palestinians
prepare for demonstrations not far away. As guests sipped wine in front
of a stage with a backdrop of American and Israeli flags Sunday, the mosques
in Gaza were urging people to attend protests."

Trump has done great damage
internationally that will likely take generations to remedy.

"More than 70 percent
of Palestinians living in Gaza are refugees or descendants of refugees
from areas in Israel, and the demonstrations have rallied for their U.N.-endorsed
right of return. “Our people have the right to break the walls of
this big prison,” Hamas’s leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, said in a briefing
with foreign journalists on Sunday. “We went out to knock the wall of the
prison and declare it clearly that we won’t accept to die slowly.”
Israeli forces withdrew from Gaza in 2005, though the United Nations still
classifies it as occupied because of the level of control wielded by Israel,
which restricts the movement of people and goods. Egypt has also only sporadically
opened its border."

The Palestinians live
under the boot heel of the Israeli aggressor. Our formerly great
country is complicit in this ongoing atrocity. Without support of
the United States, the Israeli aggressor would not have been able to do
this, nor continue to do so.

NBC reports:

"The White House on Monday
blamed Hamas for the deaths of dozens of Palestinians in clashes between
protesters and the Israeli military."

"The protests on the border
between the Palestinian-controlled Gaza Strip and Israel, in which some
participants burned tires and hurled rocks, came as the U.S. held a ceremony
marking the opening of its new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, reflecting the
Trump administration's recognition of that city as the capital of Israel."

The nazis in the White
House would not, could not, be confused with reality:

"We believe that Hamas
is responsible for what's going on," White House deputy press secretary
Raj Shah said when NBC's Peter Alexander asked whether the U.S. agreed
with France's call for Israel to exercise "discretion" and "restraint"
in its response to the Palestinian demonstrations in which tens of thousands
took part. Pressed on whether that means the U.S. advice to Israel
is "kill at will," Shah replied, "We believe that Hamas as an organization
is engaged in cynical action that is leading to these deaths."

This fascist bastard is
defending, justifying murders perpetrated by the Israeli aggressor.

"He added, "The responsibility
for these tragic deaths rests squarely with Hamas. Hamas is intentionally
and cynically provoking this response. And as the Secretary of State said,
Israel has the right to defend itself."

More egregious distortion
of reality to justify the unjustifiable. The Trump nazi is directly
responsible for this latest clash, not Hamas, the Trump nazi.

"Shah did not elaborate
on why Hamas, an organization designated as a terrorist group by the U.S.
and Israel, bears responsibility for the Israel Defense Forces, or IDF,
opening fire on the crowd. In addition to the deaths, nearly 2,000 Palestinians
were wounded."

What could this achingly
clueless, fascist son of a bitch say in defense of the indefensible?
That is, blatant murder and maiming of Palestinians by the Israeli aggressor?

Gets worse:

"Several high-ranking
Trump administration officials, including Ivanka Trump, the president's
daughter and adviser, attended the embassy opening in Jerusalem Monday.
Her husband, Jared Kushner, spoke briefly about the protests at the event.
"As we have seen from the protests of the last month, and even today, those
provoking violence are part of the problem and not part of the solution,"
he said."

Your father-in-law, the
Trump nazi, is the problem. ... To say nothing of the Israeli
aggressor.

"Those remarks, which
appear to dovetail with Shah's assessment of blame, were not included in
an official White House transcript of Kushner's speech."

Remarkable, isn't it?

More appalling?
Consider the following:

"The White House also
declined to explain why American ministers Robert Jeffress and John Hagee
had been invited to participate in Monday's embassy event given past controversial
statements, including a remark by Jeffress that "religions like Mormonism,
Islam, Judaism, Hinduism...lead people to an eternity of separation from
God in Hell" and a comment by Hagee that seemed to suggest Hitler had been
part of a divine plan to force Jews to move to the land of Israel.
Shah did distance Trump from that rhetoric. "Those aren't remarks that
the president agrees with," he said."

They're not?
Then why were these two nazi bastards invited to the event?

The Washington Post
reports:

"Gaza residents buried
their dead Tuesday as the death toll for Palestinians killed by Israeli
forces at the Gaza boundary fence climbed to at least 60 after several
succumbed to injuries overnight, according to local health officials.
Monday’s demonstrations, which coincided with the opening of the U.S. Embassy
in Jerusalem, drew a level of bloodshed not seen in Gaza since a 2014 war
with Israel. Israel’s use of live ammunition has drawn widespread condemnation,
notably from Turkey, which expelled the Israeli ambassador on Tuesday after
recalling its envoys to Israel and the United States."

Time for the world community
to rise to the occasion. Isolate the Israeli aggressor. Cut
off trade, all relations.

"Further protests were
planned as residents buried their dead and prepared to mark the anniversary
of Israel’s founding, known to Palestinians as the “Nakba,” or “Catastrophe.”
More than two-thirds of Gaza’s population is descended from refugees who
were displaced at the time of Israel’s creation 70 years ago."

Precisely, why this conflict
will not be resolved any time soon.

"The death toll on Monday
more than doubled the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza during six
weeks of demonstrations, dubbed the “March of Return.” More than
2,700 people were injured Monday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry
in Gaza, including 1,359 from live ammunition. The dead included at least
six children under the age of 18, among them a 15-year-old girl, the ministry
said. Her family said she was 14."

Unarmed people murdered
by the Israeli aggressor.

"The U.N. human rights
spokesman, Rupert Colville, said Tuesday that while Israel has a right
to defend itself, lethal force should be a last resort and was not justified
against people just approaching the fence. He condemned Monday’s “appalling
deadly violence.” Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas also
condemned the continuing “massacre” of the Palestinian people. South Africa
joined Turkey in announcing it was recalling its ambassador from Israel.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim called on Muslim countries to review
their ties with Israel in the wake of the violence. Netanyahu later
attacked Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Twitter, saying that
he “is one of the great supporters of Hamas, and there is no doubt that
he understands terror and the massacres well, and I suggest that he not
preach morality to us.”

Wake up, Mr. Netanyahu.
You have no morality, sir. None. You and your forces murder
innocent unarmed Palestinians who approach your fence. Your forebears
stole land from the Palestinians in 1948, have been stealing additional
land and killing Palestinians ever since. The Israeli aggressor is
not immoral, it's amoral, that is, without any morals at all.

“Every country must protect
its borders,” Netanyahu wrote in a tweet. “Hamas is a terrorist organization
that states its intention to destroy Israel and it sends thousands of people
to breach the border fence to realize this goal. We will continue to act
firmly to protect our sovereignty and our citizens.”

Wake up, Mr. Netanyahu.
The Israeli aggressor isn't itself a terrorist organization? Give
me a break. An American-supplied Israeli F-16 dropping a 2000 lb.
bomb in a highly-populated Palestinian neighborhood in direct violation
of U.S. export law requiring such weapons be used only for defensive purposes
is not an egregious act of terror? Murdering innocent unarmed Palestinians
approaching your fence not an act of terror? Your hypocrisy? Stunning.
You and your henchmen clearly demonstrate precisely who and what you are.
Nazis.
Highly reminiscent of Hitler's early Third Reich circa 1933.

NPR reports:

"One day after Israeli
forces fired on protesters and killed 60 Palestinians along the Gaza border,
the U.N.'s human rights commissioner says that those who were shot included
women, children, journalists, first responders and bystanders. "We
condemn the appalling, deadly violence in Gaza yesterday," said Rupert
Colville, spokesperson for the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights.
While acknowledging that some Palestinian demonstrators tried to damage
the barbed wire fence that separates Gaza from Israel, Colville said that
in the commissioner's view, attempts to cross or damage a fence "do not
amount to a threat to life or serious injury and are not sufficient grounds
for the use of live ammunition." Lethal force, he said, should only
be a measure of last resort."

Our formerly great country
has clearly lost itself. To support the Israeli aggressor as it murders
innocent unarmed Palestinians en masse runs counter to everything this
nation once stood for. Have once again disgraced ourselves.

In the Trump Regime, day
is night, night is day, and shit smells perversely sweet. Think not?
Get this. The Washington Post reports:

"The U.S. ambassador to
the United Nations on Tuesday said Israel had reacted with restraint in
its military response to protesters at the Gaza border and dismissed suggestions
the violence was caused by the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem."

The Israeli aggressor
murders sixty Palestinians, nearly all of them unarmed, peaceful, and approaching
a fence, and you claim "Israel had reacted
with restraint?"Wake up, Madam
Ambassador. Aggressive stupidity remains, and is, unbecoming.

"Nikki Haley told the
Security Council that Hamas, backed by Iran, had incited the violence by
urging protesters over loudspeakers to burst through the fence separating
the borders and flying kites into Israel with molotov cocktails attached."

Wake up, Madam
Ambassador. Hamas is not ultimately responsible for this latest savagery
displayed by the Israeli aggressor. Your nazi fuhrer in the Oval
Office is. Conveniently, forget? The clueless narcissist moved
the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem knowing full well carnage would result.

“I ask my colleagues here
in the Security Council: Who among us would accept this type of activity
on your border?” Haley said. “No one would. No country in this chamber
would act with more restraint than Israel has.”

Have you conveniently
forgotten, Madam Ambassador? The Israeli aggressor invaded Palestine
in 1948, stole land it rightfully lost generations ago due to its excesses.
Did so with the blessing of the United States, Europe, and the UN.
Continues to steal land and kill Palestinians doing their best to confront
that aggressor. -- Truly believe Texans would idly stand by and do
nothing should Mexico attempt to reclaim Texas?

Wake up, Ms. Haley.
The aggressor you so haughtily protect and defend is becoming increasingly
more and more like its Nazi Germany oppressor circa 1933 at the beginning
of Hitler's Third Reich. Would not be able to commit the atrocities
it does against the Palestinians without aid from the United States.
Eventually, the American public will finally wake up and realize we have
been, and are, on the wrong side of history. When that day finally
arrives, things will finally change.

"From U.S. allies to adversaries,
most ambassadors added their opposition to the U.S. Embassy move to their
remarks on the violence. “The unilateral decision by the United States
to move its embassy to Jerusalem does nothing but inflame spirits,” said
Sacha Llorenti, Bolivia’s envoy. “The United States, which supports the
occupying power, has become an obstacle to peace. It has become part of
the problem, not part of the solution.” Karen Pierce, the British
ambassador, expressed support for an investigation into Monday’s killings,
then stated London’s position on the U.S. Embassy’s opening. “Our
position on the status of Jerusalem and moving the American embassy is
well known,” she said. “The status of Jerusalem should be determined in
a negotiated settlement between Israel and Palestinians, and Jerusalem
should ultimately be the shared capital of the Israeli and Palestinian
states.”

We're on the wrong side
of history, Madam Ambassador. No one should understand that better
than you. What's your problem, Ms. Haley? -- Your nazi fuhrer
right
or wrong?

"Haley, speaking at the
beginning of the session, said the location of the U.S. Embassy has no
bearing on whatever Israelis and Palestinians might negotiate and described
the opening of the facility as “a cause for celebration.”

You and your fuhrer have
lost your minds, Madam Ambassador.

“It reflects the will
of the American people,” she said."

The hell it does, Ms.
Haley. Reflects the will of your achingly clueless nazi fuhrer.

“It reflects our sovereign
right to decide the location of our embassy."

Reflects profound aggressive
stupidity, extreme shortsightedness.

"Importantly, moving our
embassy to Jerusalem also reflects the reality that Jerusalem is the capital
of Israel."

The hell it is.
By whose decree? The United States? Europe? The UN?
The Bible? Wake up, Madam Ambassador.

Coup de grace? Epitome
of insanity?

"Recognizing this reality
makes real peace more achievable, not less.”

Like it did this past
week, Madam Ambassador?

Cowardly fail to financially

Israeli aggressor shows
its murderous true colors. CBS News reports:

"Hundreds of Palestinians
converged on the Gaza Strip's border fence with Israel on Friday, trying
to rip through it before drawing heavy Israeli fire in one of the most
violent incidents yet in five weeks of protests. Three Palestinians were
killed and dozens were reported wounded. The violence came shortly
after a top U.N. official urged Israel to refrain from using excessive
force against the protesters. At least 38 protesters have been killed
by Israeli live fire and more than 1,600 wounded in the weekly protests
since they began March 30. Israel has rejected the international criticism,
saying it is defending its sovereign border and accusing Gaza's Hamas leaders,
who are organizing the protests, of using the crowds as cover to carry
out attacks."

As expected, Pompeo has
been confirmed. The Washington Post reports:

"The Senate confirmed
Mike Pompeo as secretary of state Thursday despite lingering objections
from Democrats who have questioned his record of hawkish policy positions
and past controversial statements about minority groups. The split
vote — 57 to 42 — reflects the political scrutiny Pompeo is likely to encounter
as he moves from the CIA to the State Department, where he will face the
simultaneous challenges of reinvigorating an agency beset by flagging morale
and answering for a president who is prone to impulsiveness on the global
stage. Only six of the 14 Democrats who backed Pompeo to be CIA director
last year voted for him to become the nation’s top diplomat. Sen. Doug
Jones (D-Ala.), who joined the Senate earlier this year, also supported
his confirmation."

Once again, Democrats
clearly demonstrated they remain out to lunch, absent without leave, --
since November 22, 1963. Pompeo is, and remains, egregiously unfit
for office. Democrats should have unflinchingly united, ferociously
resisted this nomination, achingly egregious abomination. Did not.

"Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.),
the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee and one of those
who changed his vote on Pompeo since last year, said that he was “disappointed”
Pompeo had not tried “to repudiate some of the extreme views he expressed
during his time in Congress” — such as criticism of American Muslims and
opposition to same-sex marriage."

Mealy-mouthed, equivocating
bullshit. Where is your outrage, Senator? Time for you and
your Democratic colleagues to get off your worthless, incompetent asses.

"Warner added that he
hoped that as secretary of state, Pompeo would stand up for “American values
... like freedom, diversity, equality and tolerance” — and said that “if
he does, he can count on my assistance and support.”

Jesus Christ. That,
the best you have to offer, Senator? Then, you and your colleagues
wonder why Democrats can't win elections?

ABC News reports:

"U.S. Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo said Monday that a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
remains a priority for the Trump administration, despite its recognition
of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and its planned move of the U.S. Embassy
to the holy city over Palestinian protests."

The hell it does. Above
quote is an insane non-sequitur. Proof positive Pompeo's head remains
figuratively, securely lodged up his achingly clueless ass. Pompeo
and his fuhrer, the Trump nazi, don't want resolution, intend to
impose their will and that of the Israeli aggressor on the Palestinians.
Movement of embassy remains a non-starter for the Palestinians. Precisely,
why they continue to boycott meetings.

"Pompeo also said the
U.S. is "fully supportive" of Israel's right to defend itself and declined
to criticize the Israeli military for its use of live fire against Palestinian
protesters along the Gaza border."

What he's doing is effectively
confirming the fact the United States is supporting the maiming and murder
of innocent Palestinian protesters by the Israeli aggressor.

"Pompeo called on the
Palestinians to return to long-stalled peace talks with Israel. He said
the United States is open to a two-state solution to the conflict if both
parties agree, calling it a "likely outcome."

Horse shit. Like
his fuhrer in the Oval Office, Pompeo is a liar. A disingenuous liar.
A congenital liar. The United States and the Israeli aggressor have
already imposed a de facto solution on the Palestinians. Proof positive
is movement of the U.S. Embassy to contested territory.

"But he would not agree
with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi's characterization of the
conflict as "the main cause of instability" in the region."

Pompeo, like his fuhrer,
won't be confused with the truth. ... A truth they find most unpalatable.

"The parties will ultimately
make the decision as to what the correct resolution is," Pompeo told reporters
at a joint news conference with Safadi. "We are certainly open to a two-party
solution as a likely outcome."

Pompeo has again demonstrated
in the above quote he and his fuhrer remain severely, hopelessly detached
from reality. Are no more than congenital liars. The United
States and the Israeli aggressor are imposing a settlement, notnegotiating
one.

"But, he said, the Palestinians
had to return to a political dialogue to get there."

More horse shit.
The 'settlement' has already been imposed. Precisely, why the violence
will end no time soon. Here is why there'll be no resolution in the
near future:

"The Palestinians have
essentially boycotted contacts with the U.S. since Trump announced in December
that the United States was recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The
Palestinians claim east Jerusalem — captured by Israel in 1967 and then
annexed — as the capital of a future state."

Pompeo and the Trump nazi
remain delusional, worse, indifferent to the ongoing maiming and murder
of Palestinians by the Israeli aggressor:

"Over the past month,
39 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,600 wounded in weekly
border protests along the Gaza border, prompting human rights groups to
ask Israel's Supreme Court on Monday to restrict or ban the use of live
ammunition. They say the military's use of lethal force against unarmed
protesters is unlawful. Israel's military argues that the border protests
are part of a long-running conflict with Gaza's ruling Hamas, which it
considers a terror group, and that the rules of armed conflict apply."

Adolf Hitler couldn't
have said it better.

"Asked about the situation,
Pompeo demurred, referring to "activities in Gaza over the past days and
weeks." "We do believe the Israelis have the right to defend themselves
and we are fully supportive of that," he said."

Pompeo is delusional,
unfit for office, detached from reality.

"In addition to the Jerusalem
decisions, the Trump administration has also angered the Palestinians in
recent months by ordering their office in Washington closed, although it
remains open for business related to negotiations, slashing funding for
the U.N. agency that supports Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and elsewhere
in the region, and putting on hold all bilateral assistance to the Palestinians."

Imposition of a 'settlement'
by the Trump nazi and the Israeli aggressor.

"Although the White House
sponsored a conference on aid to Gaza last month, the Palestinians did
not attend. And, a peace plan devised by Trump's son-in-law and senior
adviser Jared Kushner and his special envoy for international negotiations
Jason Greenblatt appears to be on hold."

How can there be resolution
to this conflict when a 'settlement' is being imposed? Worse?
The United States has again proven it cannot be trusted. Does not
bode well for the region.

The Washington Post
reports:

"Mohammad al-Ajouri is
a lanky teenager who loves to run, a medal-winning track star with ambitions
to compete abroad. But last month, while participating in a protest
along Gaza’s border, he was struck by a bullet fired by an Israeli soldier.
It penetrated his calf, shattering his leg before exiting the shin. Doctors
tried to save the limb, but an infection soon spread. The leg had to be
amputated. During the past month of demonstrations along the border
between Gaza and Israel, at least 17 Palestinians have suffered gunshot
wounds that ultimately cost them their legs, according to the Palestinian
Health Ministry in Gaza. In at least three of the cases, Israeli
authorities rejected the transfer of wounded Gazans to the West Bank, where
they could receive medical care that might have saved their limbs, according
to lawyers and one of the patients’ families."

No problem with this?
None at all? Think Israeli troops aren't committing war crimes?
Most of their victims are unarmed. Wake up.

"Since the protests began,
Israeli troops have killed 43 Palestinians and wounded more than 3,500
with live ammunition, rubber bullets or shrapnel, the Health Ministry said.
Of those, about 2,200 have suffered injuries to the legs. Israeli
officials say the protests along the border fence are violent and provide
cover for militant attacks."

The Israeli aggressor
continues to boldface lie to 'justify' continuing war crimes.

"Israeli media report
that troops have been ordered to initially fire warning shots at demonstrators,
after which they should target protesters’ legs. “IDF troops act
according to clear rules of engagement that are tailored to the scenarios
they are contending with,” a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces said.
The spokesman declined to detail those rules but said live fire is a last
resort."

Again, these officials
are liars. They and their offending troops need to be hauled to The
Hague and prosecuted for war crimes.

"The United Nations, however,
says Israel is engaged in an “excessive use of force,” and human rights
groups point to cases where soldiers have fired at unarmed protesters or
at those who didn’t pose an immediate threat."

War crimes. Gutless
barbarians.

“The deployment of snipers,
careful planning and significant number of injuries to the lower limbs
does reflect an apparent policy to target [those] limbs,” said Omar Shakir,
Israel-Palestine director at Human Rights Watch in New York. But targeting
protesters’ legs “does not make the policy any less illegal,” he said.
“The use of live ammunition to any part of the body invariably causes serious
injury and even death.”

Still don't get it?
Get this:

"Doctors in Gaza are often
unable to deal with such traumatic injuries, medical groups say, because
hospitals there are overwhelmed and understaffed. “Even at the most
advanced hospital in Gaza, it felt like the 1970s,” said Salah Haj Yahia,
mobile clinic director for Physicians for Human Rights in Israel. He recently
visited Gaza as part of a medical delegation. “If things remain this way,
most gunshot casualties will have to undergo amputation,” he said in an
email."

Yet, the Israeli aggressor
suffers no consequences. Continues to commit war crimes. With
impunity.

"Some of the amputations
were carried out immediately after victims were shot because of the severity
of the injuries, doctors said. In other cases, victims were stabilized
but needed treatment outside Gaza if the limbs were to be saved.
Israeli authorities, which tightly restrict the movement of people in and
out of the strip on security grounds, rejected the patients’ medical evacuation
across Israeli territory to the West Bank."

The Israeli aggressor
continues to occupy Palestinian territory stolen in 1948, but also additional
land seized in the 1967 war, -- which clearly means there will be no end
to this conflict any time soon.

“It was decided that any
request for medical treatment by a terrorist or a rioter who took part
in violent events would be denied,” a spokesman for the Coordinator of
Government Activities in the Territories, an Israeli Defense Ministry agency
that oversees policy involving Gaza, said in an emailed statement.
“However, exceptional humanitarian cases are examined on the basis of an
assessment of the security situation and at the discretion of the commander
of the area,” the statement added."

Just like the Trump nazi,
Israeli officials in charge of their government have become congenital
liars.

"According to rights groups
and health experts, the damage to protesters’ limbs has been unusually
severe. Doctors Without Borders, based in Paris, has recorded “an extreme
level of destruction to bones and soft tissue, and large exit wounds that
can be the size of a fist.” Human Rights Watch says it is reviewing
evidence that bullets fired by Israeli forces have caused “significant
bodily injury,” including “the shattering of bones. . . and severing of
veins and arteries.” Asked about the type of ammunition used, an
Israeli military spokesman said, “In the context of the violent riots in
Gaza, the IDF employs only standard weapons and ammunition that are lawful
under international law.”

Non-sequitur by a war
criminal Israeli military spokesman. Large exit wounds are usually
caused by hollow point rounds.

"Israel says its armed
response has been appropriate for the threat posed by Palestinians. Israeli
officials accuse the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which controls Gaza,
of using civilian demonstrators as cover to “terrorize Israel.”

Unadulterated horse shit
by a congenital lying Israeli aggressor.

"Hamas are “cowardly leaders
who are hiding behind women and children and sending them forward as human
shields,” Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman wrote on Twitter. “So
that they can continue to ... carry out terrorist actions against the State
of Israel.” Protesters have burned tires, thrown rocks and flown
kites carrying molotov cocktails over the fence."

Have to admire their tenacity
and great courage fighting back as best they can an Israeli aggressor who
stole their land in 1948, has continued to kill and steal additional territory
ever since,
right, Mr. 'Defense' Minister? How do you and
your henchmen sleep nights, Mr. Liberman?

"Amputees in Gaza have
few rehabilitation options. There are no doctors who can perform surgery
to modify amputees’ stumps to accommodate artificial limbs, according to
Physicians for Human Rights in Israel. And at the Artificial Limbs
and Polio Center in Gaza City, the only facility in Gaza that manufactures
prostheses, technicians say they face crippling shortages of raw materials.
An inadequate power supply also hampers production, leaving many who need
limbs without them."

The above is the side
of life in the region Israelis and their clueless benefactors in the United
States determinedly ignore. At some point, our formerly great country
will finally wake up to this. When that happens, support will be
withdrawn. At that time, things will drastically change in the region,
-- and not for the good. To think all this could have been avoided.

Cowardly fail to financially
and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional
rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk? Get what you
truly deserve.

"Natalie Portman has pulled
out of a ceremony in Jerusalem honoring her as the recipient of a $2 million
prize, dubbed by some as the “Jewish Nobel,” the organization said Thursday.
The Genesis Prize Foundation, which annually honors individuals for “Jewish
achievement and contributions to humanity,” announced in November that
Portman, known for her roles in films such “Black Swan” and the “Star Wars”
prequels, was selected as its 2018 laureate. Portman moved to the
United States as a child but was born in Israel. She still has strong ties
to the country; her 2015 film, “A Tale of Love and Darkness,” is set in
Israel. But a statement from the organization said the actress had
pulled out of the June ceremony, where she would have officially received
her prize from Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after becoming
distressed by recent events in the country."

For damned good reason:

“The Genesis Prize Foundation
was notified by a representative of Ms. Portman that ‘recent events in
Israel have been extremely distressing to her and she does not feel comfortable
participating in any public events in Israel,’ and that ‘she cannot in
good conscience move forward with the ceremony,’ ” said the statement.
It was not immediately clear what events Portman was referring to, but
over the past three weeks, Israel has come under increasing pressure from
international organizations and human rights groups for using excessive
force in dealing with Palestinian civil unrest in the Gaza Strip.
More than 30 Palestinians have been killed by Israel’s military in the
weekly demonstrations held along the border fence separating the blockaded
coastal enclave from Israel. The Israeli military has said the civilians
are being used as a cover by the militant Islamist group Hamas, which rules
the Gaza Strip, to infiltrate Israel and carry out terrorist attacks in
its border communities."

It is not anti-Semitic
to stand up to the nazis now running the State of Israel. It is,
and remains, anti-Israeli Government. There are many Israeli citizens
themselves who do not support what their government is doing.

"This is not the first
time Portman has spoken out with regard to Israel. In 2015, following the
reelection of Netanyahu, she said in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter
that she was “very much against Netanyahu.” “I am very, very upset
and disappointed that he was re-elected,” she said in the article. “I find
his racist comments horrific. However, I don’t — what I want to make sure
is, I don’t want to use my platform [the wrong way]. I feel like there’s
some people who become prominent, and then it’s out in the foreign press.
You know, s--- on Israel. I do not. I don’t want to do that.”

To pointedly criticize
the Government of Israel is not to shit on Israelis or anyone of Jewish
heritage. It is to criticize an aggressive out of control government
that abuses, kills, and steals the land of Palestinians.

"In its statement, the
Genesis Prize Foundation said it was “saddened” that Portman had decided
not to attend the ceremony in Jerusalem for “political reasons.”
“We fear that Ms. Portman’s decision will cause our philanthropic initiative
to be politicized, something we have worked hard for the past five years
to avoid,” said the foundation. “The mission of the Genesis Prize is to
create a space where we can cast politics aside and come together to appreciate
Jewish accomplishments that continue to contribute so much to human civilization.”

To do that is to ignore
continuing atrocities perpetrated by the Israeli government.

"It said hundreds of international
guests had been scheduled to arrive in Jerusalem for the ceremony, set
to take place in Israel’s Knesset on June 28. The organization said Portman
will still receive the prize money and was planning to “re-gift” the notable
sum among organizations working to promote women’s rights and empowerment."

How about using it to
stand up for the rights of long-aggrieved Palestinians?

CBS News reports:

"When Portman was announced
late last year as the 2018 recipient, she said in a statement released
by organizers at the time that she was "proud of my Israeli roots and Jewish
heritage." In Thursday's statement, the Genesis foundation quoted
a representative for Portman as saying that "recent events in Israel have
been extremely distressing to her" and that "she cannot in good conscience
move forward with the ceremony."

Hat's off, to Ms. Portman.
Indeed, a woman of principle, stature, and great courage.

The Washington Times
reports:

"Actress Natalie Portman
has snubbed a prestigious prize known as the “Jewish Nobel,” saying she
did not want her attendance to be seen as an endorsement of Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Portman was to have received the award
in Israel in June and said in a statement issued early Saturday that her
reasons for skipping the ceremony had been mischaracterized by others,
and she is not part of the BDS, a Palestinian-led global movement of boycott,
divestment and sanctions against Israel. News of Portman’s decision
to skip the event triggered an angry backlash Friday from some in the country’s
political establishment."

(Bet it did. The
Israeli aggressor easily suffers no criticism.)

"That was due to reports
that Portman through a representative had told the Genesis Prize Foundation
she was experiencing “extreme distress” over attending its ceremony and
would “not feel comfortable participating in any public events in Israel.”
Portman’s statement said her decision had been mischaracterized.
“Let me speak for myself. I chose not to attend because I did not want
to appear as endorsing Benjamin Netanyahu, who was to be giving a speech
at the ceremony,” she wrote. “Like many Israelis and Jews around
the world, I can be critical of the leadership in Israel without wanting
to boycott the entire nation. I treasure my Israeli friends and family,
Israeli food, books, art, cinema, and dance.’” She asked people to
“not take any words that do not come directly from me as my own.”

Again it must be repeated,
-- ferociously pointed criticism of the Israeli leadership is in no way
criticism of the Israeli population and/or Judaism.

"Israel faces some international
criticism over its use of lethal force in response to mass protests along
the Gaza border led by the Islamic militant group that rules the territory."

Gross understatement from
a highly-biased Extreme Right publication in our nation's capital.
International criticism remains ferocious vis a vis these murderous tactics
employed by the Israeli aggressor.

"One Israeli lawmaker
warned that Portman’s decision is a sign of eroding support for Israel
among young American Jews."

Mischaracterizes the issue.
Worse? Misses the point. The criticism is directed against
continued war crimes committed by the government of Israel against the
Palestinians. Many Israelis themselves oppose the actions of their
government. Rightfully, fear it will ultimately lead to the
end of the State of Israel.

"The Jerusalem-born Portman
is a dual Israeli-American citizen. The Oscar-winning actress moved to
the United States as a young girl, evolving from a child actress into a
widely acclaimed A-list star. Portman received the 2011 best actress Academy
Award for “Black Swan,” and, in 2015, she directed and starred in “Tale
of Love and Darkness,” a Hebrew-language film set in Israel based on an
Amos Oz novel. Her success is a great source of pride for many Israelis."

The fact Ms. Portman holds
duel citizenship compounds unbridled, growing chagrin of the Israeli government.
Enhances the impact of her decision not to attend the award.

"The Genesis Prize Foundation
said Thursday that it had been informed by Portman’s representative that
“recent events in Israel have been extremely distressing” to Portman, though
it did not refer to specific events. Since March 30, more than three
dozen Palestinians have been killed by Israeli army fire, most of them
in protests on the Gaza-Israeli border. Hundreds more have been wounded
by Israeli troops during this time."

Cowardly fail to financially
and/or materially support those fighting for all civil and constitutional
rights and liberties at great personal cost and risk? Get what you

Trump is hopelessly delusional.
NPR reports:

"The Trump administration
has announced that the U.S. will withdraw from UNESCO, the United Nations'
chief cultural and educational agency. In a statement released Thursday,
the State Department said the move won't take effect for more than a year,
noting the withdrawal will be as of Dec. 31, 2018."

Why not leave immediately,
Mr. 'President?' Especially, since the United States owes this agency
over a half billion bucks according to the State Department.

"This decision was not
taken lightly, and reflects U.S. concerns with mounting arrears at UNESCO,
the need for fundamental reform in the organization, and continuing anti-Israel
bias at UNESCO," department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in the announcement."

This agency has taken
a stand against the Israeli aggressor, who's had its boot heel on the throat
of Palestinians since 1948. Can't have that, can we?

"Still, she noted the
Trump administration wants the U.S. to remain engaged with the U.N. agency
"as a non-member observer state in order to contribute U.S. views, perspectives
and expertise on some of the important issues undertaken by the organization,
including the protection of world heritage, advocating for press freedoms,
and promoting scientific collaboration and education."

Disingenuous bullshit.
Forget? The U.S. wishes to play but not pay since it's wishes are
not being followed. This agency has courageously stood tall, challenged
the oppression of the Israelis perpetrated against their Palestinian victims.

"The cultural aid agency
— which seeks to coordinate international efforts in education, science
and heritage remembrance — has been at odds with the U.S. since 2011, when
it voted overwhelmingly to offer full membership to a state of Palestine.
Just hours after that vote, the U.S. decided to cut its payments to UNESCO,
while still maintaining its membership."

Sadly, rightfully, the
U.S. should have immediately gotten the boot. No longer is willing
to stand up to outrageous aggression and abuse perpetrated by its ally,
-- who stole Palestinian land back in 1948, has been killing, abusing,
bulldozing Palestinian houses, stealing additional territory ever since.

"As of this year, the
U.S. government owes the agency about $550 million, according to the State
Department."

When it doesn't get its
way, our country does not pay its bills. Imagine that.

"Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson delivered official notification of the plans for withdrawal to
UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova, who expressed "profound regret" at
the move. "At the time when conflicts continue to tear apart societies
across the world, it is deeply regrettable for the United States to withdraw
from the United Nations agency promoting education for peace and protecting
culture under attack," she said in an extensive statement Thursday."

Indeed, all due to justified
criticism of the Israeli aggressor.

"This is a loss to UNESCO,"
she added. "This is a loss to the United Nations family. This is a loss
for multilateralism."

Most of all, this is a
loss to, and a black mark on the United States. We continue to figuratively
shoot ourselves in the ass, driven by the rise of nazism in our formerly
great country.

"Israel, for its part,
is likely to follow U.S. out the door. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
has "instructed the Israeli Foreign Ministry to prepare for Israel to leave
UNESCO in parallel with the U.S.," according to his office."

To be expected from the
Netanyahu nazi, -- who is sadly, at least partially, emulating German Nazi
oppression of the Jewish people during the Second World War.

"This is a brave and moral
decision," Netanyahu said in a statement, "because UNESCO has become a
theatre of the absurd and because instead of preserving history, it distorts
it."

It is you, Mr. Prime Minister
who do the same. While nowhere near as ruthless and murderous as
Hitler's Nazis, you're well on your way. Precisely and sadly, why
there will be no peace in the Middle East for quite some time to come.
Clearly, the Palestinians will not roll over and acquiesce.

Fox News is pissing and
moaning about the UN taking an increasingly hard stance against the Israeli
aggressor:

"A just-published United
Nations report that claims to find Israel guilty of the “crime of apartheid,”
is only one element of a broader legal and propaganda offensive being
pushed by an obscure U.N. regional commission to stigmatize
America’s close ally and build support for the Palestinian cause, according
to documents examined by Fox News."

For damned good reason.
The Israeli aggressor continues to determinedly seize Palestinian land,
violate Palestinian human rights, commit war crimes against the Palestinians,
etc.. The list can go on and on. ... And has, in earlier
editions.

"The offensive has been
gestating for at least two years within the U.N.’s Economic and Social
Commission for West Asia (ESCWA), whose entire membership are Arab states,
and is timed to this year’s 50th anniversary of the 1967 war between Arab
states and Israel, which resulted in Israel’s control of the occupied territories
of the West Bank and Gaza."

What better time to do
so? Expose the continuing injustice for precisely what it is.

"At least one additional
report commissioned by ESCWA, attempting to create an “innovative” and
“scientific” methodology for estimated the cost of Israel’s 50-year control
of the territories, is still in the works, with the aim of
demanding billions in reparations for Palestinians."

Great news.
The aggressor has been stealing Palestinian land since it invaded Palestine
in 1948. Continues to do so to this very day.

"A third aspect
of the strategy is an elaborate proposed propaganda campaign against
the Israeli occupation, making use of U.N. institutions and a variety of
diplomatic and media channels, to create a new , sympathetic “brand”
for Palestinians as victims “that would cause a snowball effect,
thus altering public opinion globally in record time,” as an ESCWA background
paper puts it."

"Propaganda?"
How is it 'propaganda' when it's the goddamned truth? Has been the
truth since the invader invaded. Only 'propaganda'
to the Nazi Right in this country. ... Fascists, who determinedly
ignore war crimes the Israeli aggressor continually commits against the
Palestinians. ... Like using American-supplied F-16s to drop 2000
lb. bombs in highly-populated Palestinian neighborhoods during uprisings.
In direct violation of U.S. export law which proscribes such weapons use
for offensive purposes.

"The resolution also called
for an “ESCWA media and communications strategy aimed at increasing global
awareness,” of, among other things, “Israeli violations of Palestinian
rights and international law,” and orders the bureaucracy to “increase
activities on Palestine and organize special activities to mark” the 1967
anniversary."

Again, good news.
What are they bitching about? An inconvenient truth?

"The apartheid report
caused an eruption of outrage from U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley
when it was officially published under U.N. auspices on March 15. She noted
it came “from a body whose membership nearly universally does not recognize
Israel,” and demanded the U.N. officially “withdraw” the report from circulation."

Tough shit.
Why should they withdraw a report that exposes the truth to the light of
day? Indeed, an inconvenient truth nazis in the Republican Party
remain loathe to address.

"Haley heaped additional
scorn on the co-author of the 306-page document: Richard Falk, a
notoriously anti-Israel academic who often provoked U.S. irritation for
his anti-Semitic statements and anti-U.S. diatribes during a six-year term
as U.N. special rapporteur on the rights of the Palestinian people."

Criticizing the State
of Israel, that is, the Israeli government, is not necessarily one
and the same as anti-Semitism. Forget? There are many Israelis
themselves who ferociously disagree with their government vis a vis Israeli
victimization of the Palestinians. Does this make these Israelis
anti-Semitic?

"Falk has, among other
things, cast doubt on the “official version” of the 9/11 attacks as the
work of Islamic terrorists and after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings
remarked that the “American global domination project is bound to generate
all kinds of resistance in the post-colonial world.”

This is also most indicative
of a most inconvenient truth, we as Americans, determinedly,
concertedly fail to understand. Blinders remain on. Can't see
the forest for the trees. Precisely, why we've fought war after war
since 1950 to line the pockets of corporate war profiteers. Yet,
we continue to delude ourselves, haughtily claiming 'exceptionalism.'

Nazis in the Republican
Party still falsely claim we did native Americans and slaves a favor.
Supposedly, 'improved' them culturally. That's not to
say, however, that Falk himself is supported by this publication.
Or, his views regarding a re-write of history vis a vis the 9/11 attacks.
Only that we, as Americans, have been too quick to overlook war crimes
committed by the Israelis.

In follow up to the above,
Fox News reports:

"The Trump administration
said Monday that it is boycotting a session of the United Nations Human
Rights Council, amid growing concerns by the administration over the U.N.’s
anti-Israel stance."

What's that? What
in particular? What for? Upholding the truth? Holding
the Israeli aggressor responsible for its atrocities?

"The boycott, first reported
by The Washington Free Beacon, comes as the council was expected to adopt
a number of anti-Israel resolutions Monday. The council has long been criticized
as one of the U.N.’s most anti-Israel bodies."

Why? For holding
the aggressor responsible for stealing Palestinian land? Killing
Palestinians who resist the aggressor? Doing so on a continuous basis
since Holocaust survivors invaded Palestine in 1948? -- This invasion,
sanctioned not only by the United States and Europe, but the UN as well.

"State Department spokesman
Mark Toner said that one particular agenda item -- "Human rights situation
in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories” – was “yet another reminder
of that body's long-standing bias against Israel.”

Why? What for?
What are you so opposed to? The truth? Standing up against
atrocities perpetrated by the Israeli aggressor against the Palestinians?
Such as using American-supplied F-16s to drop 2,000 lb. bombs in highly-populated
civilian areas in direct violation of U.S. export law proscribing
such weapons use for offensive purposes?
Wake up.

“As an expression of our
deeply-held conviction that this bias must be addressed in order for the
Council to realize its legitimate purpose, the United States decided not
to attend the Council's Item Seven General Debate session,” Toner said,
adding that the U.S. will vote against every resolution under the agenda
item, and encourage other countries to do the same."

The Trump nazi and his
henchmen will not, under any circumstances, be confused by the truth.

Seems the Trump nazi and
his henchmen may be finally smartening up on the unresolved Israeli annexation
of Palestinian land issue. ABC News reports:

"The Trump administration
has explicitly warned Israel against annexing parts of the occupied West
Bank, saying it would trigger an "immediate crisis" between the two close
allies, Israel's defense minister said Monday. It was the latest
indication that President Donald Trump is returning to more traditional
U.S. policy and will not give Israel free rein to expand its control over
the West Bank and sideline the Palestinians, as Israeli nationalists had
hoped."

If true, about time.

"Speaking in parliament,
Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said U.S. officials had been clear in
their opposition to Israeli annexation of West Bank land — a notion that
has gained steam in far-right Israeli circles since Trump's election.
"We received a direct message — not an indirect message and not a hint
— from the United States. Imposing Israeli sovereignty on Judea and Samaria
would mean an immediate crisis with the new administration," Lieberman
said, shortly before departing for a working visit to the U.S. Judea
and Samaria is the biblical term for the West Bank, which Israel captured
in the 1967 Mideast war. The Palestinians seek the West Bank as the heartland
of a future state, a position that has wide international backing."

The Israelis clearly do
not want a two-state solution. Want it all. They're not going
to get it all. Their intransigence guaranties continual warfare,
that is, terror.

Palestinians will never
settle for the following:

"The angry U.S. reaction
was sparked by comments by Miki Zohar, a junior lawmaker in Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's nationalist Likud Party. Zohar is among a growing
number of coalition members who reject the internationally backed idea
of a Palestinian state and instead suggested that Israel annex the West
Bank. Under this version of a "one-state" scenario, the West Bank's
more than 2 million Palestinians would receive expanded autonomy, but not
hold full Israeli citizenship or be allowed to vote for the Knesset, or
parliament. Although Netanyahu has not endorsed the one-state vision, many
in his coalition do. "The two-state solution is dead," Zohar told
i24NEWS, an Israeli TV channel. "What is left is a one-state solution with
the Arabs here as, not as full citizenship, because full citizenship can
let them to vote to the Knesset."

Goddamned bullshit.
If enacted, guaranties Israelis will one day wind up in the sea as sadly
threatened by their Arab neighbors for decades.

"One state at this moment
means apartheid," Ayman Odeh, leader of the Joint List of Arab parties
in parliament, told foreign reporters Monday. "I think there needs to be
great pressure for a Palestinian state to be established on the 1967 borders."

If not, Israel has no
chance of peace. Now or in the future. Will ultimately wind
up with no country at all.

1-27-17

The Israeli aggressor
wasted no time stomping its jackboot into the throats of the Palestinians
after the Trump nazi took office. The Washington Post reports:

"Israel approved the construction
of 2,500 housing units in Jewish settlements in the West Bank on Tuesday,
just two days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with President
Trump. Netanyahu and members of his right-wing government have bristled
at the harsh condemnations of settlement growth by the Obama administration,
which condemned the Jewish communities as “illegitimate” and “an obstacle
to peace.”

It's called the truth.
Something the Trump nazi, his henchmen, and the Israeli aggressor cannot
seem to understand.

"Trump, however, has signaled
more accommodating policies toward Israel and has called for moving the
U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, a city claimed as the capital of both Israel
and a potential future Palestinian state. The Jewish settlements have grown
to house more than 400,000 Jewish residents in the West Bank."

Should the Israeli capital
be moved to Jerusalem, certainly guaranties war in the Middle East will
continue indefinitely. ... A war Israel will ultimately lose, --even
with American military support. As the entire region winds up in
escalated conflict.

“We’re building — and
will continue to build,” Netanyahu said following the announcement."

This, sadly, will result
in ultimate destruction of the State of Israel. ... Again, with or
without American involvement.

"There was no initial
reaction to the announcement by the Trump White House or the State Department."

At time of writing, no
reaction from Trump, his henchmen to the following from Fox News:

"Officials said Monday
that the Obama administration-- in its waning hours-- defied Republican
opposition and quietly released $221 million to the Palestinian Authority
that GOP members of Congress had been blocking. A State Department
official and several congressional aides told The Associated Press that
the outgoing administration formally notified Congress it would spend the
money Friday morning. The official said former Secretary of State
John Kerry had informed some lawmakers of the move shortly before he left
the State Department for the last time Thursday.The aides said written
notification dated Jan. 20 was sent to Congress just hours before Donald
Trump took the oath of office."

Fascinating, isn't it?
Must have infuriated the nazi and his henchmen.

"In addition to the $221
million for the Palestinians, the Obama administration also told Congress
on Friday it was going ahead with the release of another $6 million in
foreign affairs spending, including $4 million for climate change programs
and $1.25 million for U.N. organizations, the congressional aides said."

1-13-17

The Trump nazi had better
be very, very careful about whom he supports overseas and why. Could
certainly wind up making him appear hopelessly ignorant, aggressively stupid.
In follow up to an earlier report regarding Israeli Prime Minister Bebe
Netanyahu, NBC News reports:

"Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu has weathered no shortage of scandals — including controversy
over a $127,000 plane upgrade for a single flight and criticism over his
family's spending on everything from laundry to ice cream. But some
analysts are now wondering whether he can survive the latest storm."

We'll see, won't we?
The Prime Minister is indeed a politician's politician who should certainly
make GOP national socialists in Congress proud. Has certainly lived
off the Israeli taxpayers' tit. Firmly planted.

"Netanyahu was grilled
by police investigators for more than three hours at his official residence
this week on suspicion of receiving illicit gifts and favors from wealthy
donors."

Couldn't be, could it?
Ole Bebe couldn't be bribed, could he?

"Police said Netanyahu
was questioned "under caution," a term signaling that anything he said
could potentially be used as evidence against him. The Israeli Ministry
of Justice confirmed that investigators from a police fraud investigation
and prosecution unit met with him on Monday. They had received authorization
from the country's attorney general."

Doesn't your heart bleed
for the blowhard fascist?

"His family's lifestyle
— at taxpayers' expense — has also previously come under scrutiny.
In 2013, he was chided for reportedly spending $127,000 in public funds
for a special sleeping cabin for a five-and-a-half hour flight to London
for Margaret Thatcher's funeral. That came just months after the Netanyahu
household's $2,700 annual budget for artisanal pistachio and French vanilla
ice cream also made front-page news."

He certainly would fit
in perfectly with our hopelessly patrician United States Senate.
Might even teach them a thing or two about how to better loot American
taxpayers.

"In the first instance,
Netanyahu is suspected of receiving favors and gifts from wealthy businesspeople.
Police suspect that the value of the gifts Netanyahu received to be in
the tens of thousands of dollars. Few details have been made public
about the second investigation."

Interesting, isn't it?

Our elected representatives
in Congress still remain clueless, oblivious to the atrocities committed
by the Israeli aggressor since Palestine was invaded in 1948 by Holocaust
survivors, granted carte blanche by the United States, Europe, and the
Security Council to do so. Rep. Mike Conaway opines:

"Israel is our strongest
ally in an increasingly unstable region, and to allow a resolution to pass
the United Nations Security Council that states that Judaism’s holiest
sites are an ‘occupied territory’ is absolutely unacceptable. The United
States has a long history of voting down anti-Israel resolutions at the
United Nations Security Council- in fact, the United States has vetoed
42 anti-Israel resolutions since 1972. Unfortunately, President Obama and
his Administration have chosen to ignore the special relationship between
the United States and Israel, which is reprehensible. We must continue
our nation’s long tradition of standing with Israel."

Why? To what end?
We're on the wrong side of history. The Congressman cannot understand
it is the invasion of Palestine by the Israelis in 1948 that made this
part of the world "an increasingly unstable
region." About time, the United
States finally did the right thing and stood up against the Israeli aggressor
for continuing to steal Palestinian territory. What is achingly
"reprehensible"
is the fact the United States stood by and did nothing about this until
recently.

Sen. Ted "Screws Loose"
Cruz opined in a recent newsletter:

"The anti-Israel U.N.
Security Council resolution that passed during Chanukah with President
Obama's and Secretary of State John Kerry’s active acquiescence is absurd.
It declares much of Israel’s sovereign territory to be illegal and illegitimate.
It declares the Temple Mount - the holiest place in Jerusalem for the Jewish
people – not a part of Israel. It declares the Western Wall - where travelers
from all over the world go to pray – not a part of Israel. For decades,
the United States has stood as an ally against anti-Semitism, and I am
committed to reversing the Obama administration’s despicable approach to
our relationship with Israel and working with President-elect Trump’s incoming
administration to restore the unshakable alliance between our two nations."

The Senator's head is
so far up his national socialist, achingly fascist ass, his eyeballs are
turning inside out, blinding his vision, to say nothing of his perverse
judgment, irrational thought processes. This sad excuse for a U.S.
Senator remains a hopeless fanatic. Blinded by tunnel vision, distortion
of reality, re-write of history. That is, what went down in 1948
and why.

The Senator cannot seem
to grasp the fact the Israelis lost this land generations ago due
to their egregious excesses. Still seems to perversely believe the
Israelis are somehow, someway, entitled to this land. Apparently,
by Divine Right. They lost it, Senator. Many, many,
many years ago. Their invasion of Palestinian land in 1948 is directly
responsible for the origin of modern-day terrorism.

Their enemies quickly
learned and embraced the terroristic tactics used by the Israelis to seize
land they lost generations ago, continue to use to this very day to hold
on to their spoils of the 1948 war and every subsequent one fought since.
Should Mexico invade Texas to recapture territory it once owned, think
Texans wouldn't fight like hell? Well before the United States military
had a chance to react?

The Senator, as all hopelessly
ignorant fascists, stupidly equates anti-Israeli government criticism
with anti-Semitism. They are not one and the same. Just
as it is not anti-Germanic to criticize Hitler and The Third Reich.
The criticism is directed against the atrocities committed by the Israeli
aggressor, not a class of people.

The Senator remains so
fanatical, short-sighted, hopelessly jaded he clearly doesn't understand
the consequences of what he is proposing:

"Sens. Cruz, Heller, and
Rubio Seek to Recognize Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel

"On Tuesday, Senator Ted
Cruz, along with Sens. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), introduced
the Jerusalem Embassy and Recognition Act, legislation that would fulfill
America’s commitment to Israel to relocate the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv
to Jerusalem."

This would likely quickly,
ultimately lead to all Arab countries putting aside their differences to
fight the Israeli aggressor.

“Jerusalem is the eternal
and undivided capital of Israel,” Sen. Cruz said. “Unfortunately, the Obama
administration's vendetta against the Jewish state has been so vicious
that to even utter this simple truth - let alone the reality that Jerusalem
is the appropriate venue for the American embassy in Israel - is shocking
in some circles."

To whom, Senator?
A clueless, shortsighted, fanatical national socialist like yourself, sir?

"But it is finally time
to cut through the double-speak and broken promises and do what Congress
said we should do in 1995: formally move our embassy to the capital of
our great ally Israel. I am pleased to co-sponsor this legislation with
Senator Heller and Senator Rubio, and I look forward to working with the
Trump administration to make this happen.”

You're a fool, Senator.
Doing so would likely wind up leading to ultimate demise of the State of
Israel. If all countries in the region unite, put aside all personal
differences, this is not a war Israel could ultimately win, -- even with
U.S. military involvement. Would at best quickly become a quagmire.
A tragic mistake.

1-6-16

Trump may be in store
for some tough times vis a vis his support of Israel no matter what the
aggressor does or doesn't do. Especially interesting, is a pending
investigation of the Israeli Prime Minister. ABC News reports:

"The Channel 2 segment
was the latest in a series of reports in Israeli media saying that police
are close to opening a criminal investigation against the prime minister."

Is that right? Hope
it's true. Would certainly expose Netanyahu and his activities to
the glaring light of day.

"The station said Netanyahu
had accepted large-scale "favors" from businessmen in Israel and abroad.
It said there had been a breakthrough in the case three weeks ago, but
gave no further details."

Interesting, isn't it?
Hope it's true.

"Channel 2 said Netanyahu
was the central suspect in a second investigation that also involves members
of his family. It said some 50 witnesses were involved in the case."

How about that?
Couldn't be, could it?

"The station, along with
the Ynet news site, said a formal criminal probe is expected to be opened
next week."

Netanyahu has again shown
his true colors. What he stands for. Fox News reports:

"Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday called for a pardon of the Israeli soldier
convicted of manslaughter for shooting a knife-wielding Palestinian attacker
in the head, in a case that has deeply divided the country. Sgt.
Elor Azaria, an Israeli army medic who had been deployed to the West Bank
at the age of 19, shot and killed the Palestinian attacker who lay wounded
and motionless on the ground -- nearly 15 minutes after he tried to stab
a soldier in Hebron. Azaria's supporters claimed the military made him
into a scapegoat."

It's called murder.
The Palestinian attacker was wounded, incapacitated. Yet, this bastard
executed him with a round to the head. Became judge, jury, and executioner.

12-30-16

The charade in Israel
continues unabated. Fox News reports:

"The Israeli government
asked President-elect Donald Trump to apply pressure on the Obama administration
and the United Nations to prevent a Security Council vote condemning Israeli
settlement construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, Reuters reported
late Thursday."

The Aryan arrogance of
the Israeli aggressor remains bottomless, hopelessly profound. The
nazi bastard is not even President. Yet, the Israeli aggressor attempts
to interfere with American policy through a nazi who has not even been
sworn into office?

"The news agency, citing
a senior Israeli official, reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
government contacted "high level" members of Trump's transition team after
failing to persuade the Obama administration to veto the resolution. Allowing
the resolution to pass would have reignited a dispute with a key Middle
Eastern ally in the waning days of Obama's tenure."

The Israelis clearly cannot
seem to understand the United States only has one President at a time.

"The Israeli official
told Reuters Obama's intended abstention from the vote was "a violation
of a core commitment to protect Israel at the U.N."

That's a crock of shit.
The United States has no obligation to support an aggressor that murders
Palestinians, continues to commandeer Palestinian territory it's been stealing
since 1948, uses American-supplied fighter jets to drop ordnance in highly-populated
civilian areas in direct violation of U.S. export law the 'Justice' Department
gutlessly
refuses to enforce.

"Hours before the planned
Security Council vote, Trump released a statement urging that the U.S.
veto the resolution. "As the United States has long maintained, peace
between the Israelis and the Palestinians will only come through direct
negotiations between the parties, and not through the imposition of terms
by the United Nations," the statement read, in part. "This puts Israel
in a very poor negotiating position and is extremely unfair to all Israelis."

What about the Palestinians
the Israelis have murdered since 1948, you clueless, fascist son of a bitch?
How about the land they've stolen starting in 1948 right up to the present?
Think if the Mexicans did the same to Texas we would have tolerated it?

Israel reacted strongly.
CNN reports:

"Israel slammed the Obama
administration on Friday for failing to voice opposition to a draft UN
resolution condemning settlement construction. "President Obama and
Secretary Kerry are behind this shameful move against Israel at the UN,"
a senior Israeli official told CNN. "President Obama could declare his
willingness to veto this resolution in an instant but instead is pushing
it. This is an abandonment of Israel which breaks decades of US policy
of protecting Israel at the UN and undermines the prospects of working
with the next administration of advancing peace."

The Israeli aggressor
remains determinedly clueless. The aggressor has stolen land that
does not belong to it. Has not for generations. The President
finally grows a pair and the aggressor is piqued? Tough shit.

"The US administration
secretly cooked up with the Palestinians an extreme anti-Israeli resolution
behind Israel's back which would be a tailwind for terror and boycotts
and effectively make the Western Wall occupied Palestinian territory,"
a senior Israeli official said."

Paranoid, isn't it?
Based on fear, without question. Certainly, indicates the world is
finally beginning to smarten up. Had Palestine not been invaded in
1948, think all the turmoil in the Middle East could not have been avoided?
At least, minimized? If there is any further terror, it is directly
caused by continued Israeli intransigence. Refusal to return land
belonging to others, subsequent to the end of the 1967 Six Day War.

To say nothing of all
Palestinian territory stolen from 1948 to the present. Israel has
finally gotten its comeuppance. Consequently, is not a happy camper.
Tough shit. Karma, indeed a bitch. Live with it.

"As the United States
has long maintained, peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians will
only come through direct negotiations between the parties, and not through
the imposition of terms by the United Nations," Trump said. "This puts
Israel in a very poor negotiating position and is extremely unfair to all
Israelis."

Trump has his head up
his ass. Remains determinedly clueless. There is no peace agreement
because Israel does not want one. Continually proves that day after
day after year after year by continuing to steal Palestinian territory.
There is no negotiation possible with such an aggressor. None at
all.

What right did they have
to land they legitimately lost many, many years ago due to their excesses?
How are they entitled to invade and occupy land they lost generations
ago? By Divine Right? What about the rights of Palestinians?
This, means shit squat to the Israeli aggressor and the United States.

The true shame is that
our formerly great country and achingly gullible public couldn't see through
the sham. Including this writer who did not smarten up until some
thirty years ago. Had been an ardent, clueless supporter of the aggressor.
Took all the appalling war crimes committed by the Israeli aggressor to
wise some of us up, including this writer.

With U.S. refusal to veto
the measure, action was finally taken at the UN. NPR reports:

"The U.N. Security Council
has approved a resolution condemning construction of Israeli settlements
in the West Bank, after the U.S. abstained from the vote rather than vetoing
the resolution outright."

About time our country
finally did the right thing. What took so long? Have we lost
our minds? Forgotten all principles this country was founded on?
To mindlessly support an aggressor that has stolen land that no longer
belongs to it? Has not for generations? Too bad the President
didn't have the courage to vote rather than abstain. Then again,
this is progress which will almost certainly be reversed when the Trump
nazi and his henchmen take office in January.

"In explaining the U.S.
abstention, Ambassador Samantha Power said the move doesn't signal diminished
U.S. support for Israel; she later added that the continued construction
of settlements "seriously undermines Israel's security."

Indeed, they do.
Should they continue unabated, will likely result in dissolution of the
State of Israel as the overwhelming majority of Arab nations in the region
put aside differences, join forces, and fight the aggressor. Finally,
some measure of sanity expressed by our government. A willingness
to face reality, courageously embrace the truth.

"Power said, "The United
States has been sending the message that the settlements must stop, privately
and publicly, for nearly five decades."

She's right. To
determinedly deaf Israeli aggressor ears. All to no avail
since we continue to militarily support the aggressor no matter what.
Continue to provide the aggressor with foreign aid, weapons. Amusingly,
Netanyahu has his panties in a wad over the U.S. abstention. Tough
shit. The Extreme Right fascist bastard is threatening to reconsider
millions it gives the UN in aid. Re-think it's relationship with
the UN. Go ahead, Bebe. Do so. Do it now. Don't
waste any time.

At the same time, however,
how about doing the right thing by U.S. taxpayers and say no to any further
U.S. foreign aid? No more than blood money used to finance your continued
aggression against the Palestinians. The world community is tired
of the duplicity. Continued bullshit all these decades. Eventually,
the duped, achingly bamboozled American public will finally wake up and
say no more.

How many more killed Palestinians
will it take? How much more of their land stolen by you before Americans
finally wake up? Be interesting to see, right, Mr. Prime Minister?

The continued expansion
of settlements by the Israeli aggressor, interestingly, goes against long-term
thinking embraced by Republicans themselves. At the risk of hopelessly
confusing GOP nazis currently in power with the truth, consider the following:

"At the start of Power's
remarks explaining the U.S. position on the resolution, the ambassador
read aloud a quote she said was from President Ronald Reagan, in 1982:

"The United States will
not support the use of any additional land for the purpose of settlements
during the transitional period. Indeed, the immediate adoption of a settlement
freeze by Israel, more than any other action, could create the confidence
needed for wider participation in these talks. Further settlement activity
is in no way necessary for the security of Israel, and only diminishes
the confidence of the Arabs that a final outcome can be freely and fairly
negotiated."

Reagan certainly had his
head on straight regarding at least this issue. What ever happened
to his GOP contemporaries and their successors who still view the
late President as a god? Think ole Ronnie got it wrong on the settlements?
Was horribly misguided? Wake up. You hopelessly fascist
GOP bastards have lost your minds. Abandoned all reason. Have
drunk the Kool Aide. Certainly become an embarrassment to our formerly
great country.

"The subject of fairness
came up in Power's remarks, as well — as she said Israel has long been
the victim of bias in the U.N. Power said: "In reality, this vote,
for us, was not straightforward, because of where it's taking place: at
the United Nations. For the simple truth is that for as long as Israel
has been a member of this institution, Israel has been treated differently
from other nations at the United Nations."

That's been so for damned
good reason, Madam Ambassador. Conveniently forget? In 1948,
the highest echelons of the UN, Europe, and the United States granted survivors
of Hitler's death camps carte blanche to invade Palestine, steal territory
it had lost generations before due to its excesses. The General Assembly
has indeed fought back against this travesty all these decades. Are
to be commended for doing so. Are simply reflecting reality on the
ground, in the region. -- A reality, the United States and the Israeli
aggressor remain determinedly blind to.

"And not only in decades
past, such as the infamous resolution that the General Assembly adopted
in 1975 with the support of the majority of member states, officially determining
that Zionism is a form of racism. But also in 2016, this year. One need
only look at the 18 resolutions against Israel adopted during the General
Assembly in September, or the 12 Israel-specific resolutions adopted this
year in the [U.N.] human rights council — more than those focused on Syria;
North Korea; Iran and South Sudan put together."

The reason for the ongoing
General Assembly resolutions against the Israeli aggressor is continued
Israeli intransigence to stop stealing land, negotiate a two-state solution.
-- Which fascists in the Israeli government continue to refuse to do.
Zionism has certainly become a form of racism. To deny such is to
deny reality, what is happening on the ground in Israeli-occupied Palestinian
territory. Why is it the rest of the world can so easily see this,
but not the United States and the State of Israel?

"Power stated that "such
unequal treatment not only hurts Israel; it undermines the legitimacy of
the United Nations itself."

That's bullshit.
The direct opposite is clearly the case. The United States has repeatedly
used its veto power in the Security Council to favor its ally at expense
of the Palestinians. Has willfully turned a blind eye to atrocities
committed by the Israeli aggressor, while condemning the Palestinians for
returning the favor.

Has disingenuously talked
out both sides its ass to support the aggressor while f--king the Palestinians.
Then, we wonder where all the terrorism in the region originated and why?
We're determinedly clueless. Precisely, why the unsustainable continues.
We won't even enforce U.S. export law that forbids offensive use
of American-supplied F-16s and ordnance used to bomb highly-populated Palestinian
neighborhoods.

These are war crimes committed
by the Israeli aggressor we continue to turn a blind eye to. Until
this changes, the violence will be endless. With a nazi about to
take office in January, conditions in the Middle East will likely continue
to deteriorate. There is no way this nazi son of a bitch can force
peace in Palestine. Would be like Mexico trying to re-take Texas.
Texans would fight like hell. Not wait for the U.S. military.
Yet, we expect Palestinians to compliantly, docilely drop trou and take
the ungreased shaft? That's not going to happen.

In follow up to the above,
NPR reports:

"In remarks at the start
of his weekly cabinet meeting Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
expressed "anger and frustration" over the U.N. Security Council resolution
condemning Israeli settlements in the West Bank."

Tough, isn't it?
Think what the Palestinians have had to endure since 1948.

"Israel summoned 10 ambassadors
to Israel from countries that voted in favor of the resolution, as well
as the U.S. ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro. Netanyahu escalated his
criticism of the U.S. for abstaining, even accusing President Obama of
orchestrating the resolution himself."

The Israeli Prime Minister
seems a bit paranoid, doesn't he? Accusing the President of "orchestrating
the resolution" is over the top. The President has finally found
some modicum of courage as he prepares to leave office. Better late
than never. The Prime Minister appears to be growing increasingly
desperate.

Knows full well the world
is tiring of Israeli intransigence vis a vis a two-state solution.
Rightfully, so. A two-state solution remains the only way to resolve
this issue. If Israel continues to remain intransigent, it likely
assures its ultimate dissolution. Movement of the Israeli capital
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would likely trigger an all out war, -- as all
Arab countries in the Middle East likely put aside all their differences
to fight and defeat the aggressor. With or without U.S. military
power backing the aggressor.

"From the information
that we have, we have no doubt that the Obama administration initiated
it, stood behind it, coordinated on the wording and demanded that it be
passed," Netanyahu said in Hebrew."

"Over decades, American
administrations and Israeli governments had disagreed about settlements,
but we agreed that the Security Council was not the place to resolve this
issue. We knew that going there would make negotiations harder and drive
peace further away."

"Agreed"
by whom, Mr. Prime Minister? You're talking out your ass, sir.
Worse? You miss the point. The Security Council is ineffective
since any one of the permanent members can stonewall anything through
use of the veto. For any reason or excuse at all. Precisely,
why the Security Council remains as ineffective as it does.

The General Assembly,
on the other hand, remains ineffective because it does not enjoy the power
of the Security Council. Precisely, why the UN remains ineffective
as a world body. Indeed, a remarkable "Catch-22" that leaves the
UN virtually powerless and subject to the whim of the five permanent members
of the Security Council. What is surprising is the fact the UN remains
in existence decades after the old League of Nations went defunct.

"And, as I told John Kerry
on Thursday, friends don't take friends to the Security Council. I'm encouraged
by the statements of our friends in the United States, Republicans and
Democrats alike. They understand how reckless and destructive this U.N.
resolution was, they understand that the Western Wall isn't occupied territory."

That's goddamned psychotic,
delusional, abject bullshit, Mr. Prime Minister. The General Assembly
knows it. So does the rest of the world community with increasingly
rare exception. Israel does not want a two-state solution.
Has not for years, if ever. The Prime Minister and his henchmen remain
the impediment to peace. They want Palestinians to capitulate, bend
over, drop trou, and take the ungreased shaft. Then praise the f--ker
for the f--king. That's not going to happen.

Insult to injury to the
hopelessly clueless, increasingly psychotic Prime Minister? With
the exception of the United States which abstained, all 14 of the remaining
members of the Security Council voted in favor of the resolution.
Netanyahu still doesn't get it. Can't seem to get a grasp on reality.
The
Statesman reports:

"In turning his anger
toward Israel's closest ally, Netanyahu has underplayed the embarrassment
that all 14 other nations on the Security Council voted in favor of the
measure. Those votes came from countries that Netanyahu loves loves
to boast of cultivating relations with, including Russian and China and
nations across the developing world."

The jig is up, Mr. Prime
Minister. Wake up. The world doesn't buy the bullshit any longer.

"This is the same prime
minister who told us dozens of states are on board with us," former Prime
Minister Ehud Barak told Channel 2 TV on Saturday. "I looked for
Russia, China, England, France. Where are all the friends that were
meant to stand with us?"

They've smartened up.
No longer buy the ruse. See it for what it is. Appalling
injustice. Continuous repression. Heartless oppression.
Egregious war crimes perpetrated by the Israeli aggressor every time the
Palestinians rise up against it.

"Sen. Cruz released the
following statement rebuking the United Nations Security Council for its
latest attempt to delegitimize the nation of Israel: "With hundreds of
thousands dead in Syria, jihadist refugees mowing down Christmas shoppers
in Berlin and the People's Republic of China weaponizing its artificial
islands in the South China Sea, it is ridiculous that the United Nations
Security Council would even consider wasting its time condemning Israel
for building on its own sovereign territory," Senator Cruz said."

Is that right, Senator?
Have you ignored the fact survivors of Hitler's concentration camps were
granted carte blanche by Europe, the United States, and the United Nations
back in 1948 to invade Palestine, steal Palestinian territory? After
rightfully losing this land generations ago due to excesses by the Israelites
who originally occupied the land. Then again, wouldn't want to confuse
a clueless nazi with the truth, would we?

This clueless fascist
son of a bitch also conveniently ignores the fact Palestinians have fought
back since 1948 against the aggressor who has killed them and stolen their
land. All, because they had the guts to fight back. Can't have
that, can we, Senator? Think if the Mexicans invaded Texas, territory
they formerly owned, we wouldn't fight back like hell?

"The UNSC, which over
and over has pursued avenues to delegitimize the nation of Israel, has
no authority on this matter. The Obama Administration should be ashamed
for not immediately signaling our intent to veto this resolution and any
others like it, which should be emphatically and unconditionally opposed
by all member states who value our alliance with Israel."

Senator? With all
due respect, your head remains securely lodged up your ass. Precisely,
why you cannot see straight. Ignore reality. The President
finally did the right thing. Stood up to the Israeli aggressor.
Those of us who value liberty, justice applaud the President's courage
in doing so. He did the right thing.

Should have long since
enforced U.S. export law that prohibits use of weapons sold to the aggressor
to be used offensively. An American-supplied F-16 used to
drop a 2,000 lb. bomb in a highly-populated civilian area not only violates
export law, but is a war crime. Yet, Republican nazis ignore this
fact. Support the aggressor not matter what it does or doesn't do.

Then again, wouldn't want
clueless Republicans or Democrats to be confused with the truth, would
we?

Subsequent to writing
the above, CBS News reports:

"Secretary of State John
Kerry on Wednesday defended the United States’ decision to abstain on a
United Nations Security Council vote condemning Israeli settlement activity,
saying the U.S. could not “allow a viable two-state solution to be destroyed
before our eyes.” “This is a time to stand up for what is right,”
Kerry said, speaking at the State Department. “We have long known what
two states living side by side in peace and security looks like. We should
not be afraid to say so.”

Not surprisingly, the
Israeli aggressor does not agree:

"Netanyahu denounced Kerry’s
speech Wednesday from his office in Jerusalem, calling it “a great disappointment.”
“It concerns itself obsessively with settlements instead of focusing on
the root -- the Palestinians’ continuing refusal to recognize a Jewish
state in any borders,” he said."

You stole their land starting
back in 1948, have been stealing ever more right up to the present, Mr.
Prime Minister. What do you expect, sir? Why would they recognize
an aggressor that steals their land and kills them? The best Israel
can hope for is, indeed, a two-state solution. Recognition of Israel
by the Palestinians is highly unlikely. Why would they? Conveniently
forget? Once again and ad nauseum, you've stolen their land,
occupy their territory, kill them, then expect them to recognize
the State of Israel, you clueless son of a bitch?

The President of the United
States is now being accused of being anti-Semitic for failing to veto the
resolution. That's goddamned bullshit. Criticism of Israeli
settlements on occupied territory is not bigotry directed against a religion,
race, or ethnic group. It's criticism of the Israeli government and
its atrocities. The Israeli government and its defenders cannot
seem to understand this.

The Washington Times
reports:

"In a statement, Netanyahu’s
office says the speech “barely touched upon the root of the conflict —
Palestinian opposition to a Jewish state in any boundaries.”

Wake up, Mr. Prime
Minister. The root of the conflict, sir, is the theft of Palestinian
land starting in 1948, continuing right up to the present. To say
nothing of all the atrocities committed by both sides, particularly those
perpetrated by the Israelis who enjoy overwhelming military superiority
thanks to the United States. ... Which until recently believed the
Israeli aggressor could do no wrong.

12-23-16

Once again, Trump displayed
abject ignorance of the Middle East, no understanding of what is likely
to set off a powder keg in the region. The Washington Times
reports:

"President-elect Donald
Trump has announced that he will nominate attorney David Friedman as U.S.
ambassador to Israel, selecting an envoy who supports Israeli settlements
and other changes to U.S. policies in the region. Friedman said he looked
forward to carrying out his duties from “the U.S. embassy in Israel’s eternal
capital, Jerusalem,” even though the embassy is in Tel Aviv."

This idiot obviously wants
renewal of widespread fighting in the region which such policy will certainly
trigger.

"Like some of his predecessors,
Trump has vowed to move the American embassy to Jerusalem, a politically
charged act that would anger Palestinians who want east Jerusalem as part
of their sovereign territory. The move would also distance the U.S. from
most of the international community, including its closest allies in Western
Europe and the Arab world."

Should this happen, would
likely eventually sadly result in the ultimate demise of the State of Israel.
With or without continued support of the Israeli aggressor by the United
States. This would quickly force all Arab countries in the Middle
East to put aside their differences, concertedly fight the aggressor.

12-16-16

Why is the United States
selling, and now delivering, F-35 stealth fighters to the Israeli aggressor?
The aggressor has used American-supplied F-16s to bomb civilians in highly-populated
Palestinian neighborhoods in direct violation of U.S. export law that requires
these weapons to be used only for defensive purposes. ABC
News reports:

"The vanguard of Israel's
new fleet of F-35 fighter jets roared onto the Nevatim air base Monday,
ushering in a new era for Israeli air power and sharpening its military
edge in a volatile Mideast. The arrival of Israel's first two F-35
stealth aircraft also highlighted the Obama administration's commitment
to providing its ally with the latest U.S. military advances."

The question is why.
The Israelis are using American-supplied weapons to commit atrocities against
Palestinian civilians. Why won't the 'Justice' Department enforce
U.S. weapons export law? The aggressor plans to buy 50 of these warplanes.
Think this won't further enflame relations between Israel and its neighbors?
Especially, when the Israelis use these weapons against civilian targets.

11-18-16

Fascists in the Israeli
government are already taking advantage of the fact the American public
has elected a national socialist 'President.' The Washington Post
reports:

"Right-wing leaders in
the Israeli government have seized on the election of Donald Trump to push
forward assertive new legislation that would legalize Jewish settlements
in the West Bank built on privately owned Palestinian land."

Think this won't increase
terrorism?

"Believing that the time
to act is now, as the U.S. president-elect begins to shape his foreign
policy, top Israeli ministers voted unanimously Sunday in favor of a bill
that would allow Israeli settlements and outposts that were built on property
owned by Palestinians to avoid court-ordered demolitions. On Monday,
Israeli politicians dug in for a fight over the legislation, which would
retroactively offer legal protection to thousands of homes built both in
long-established settlements and in newer wildcat outposts that were constructed
on private Palestinian land."

"Curt Schilling doesn’t
even need his controversial social media posts to go viral. In an
interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, the former Red Sox pitcher (who says
he plans to challenge Elizabeth Warren for her Senate seat in 2018) said
to Tapper that he “wanted to ask you something as a person who is practicing
the Jewish faith and have since you were young.” “I don’t understand,
and maybe this is the amateur, non-politician in me, I don’t understand
how people of Jewish faith can back the Democratic Party, which over the
last 50 years has been so clearly anti-Israel, so clearly anti-Jewish Israel,”
Schilling said."

How does someone grow
up in this country and wind up so achingly ignorant, ill-informed?
Where and how does this level of misinformation rise? This country
unquestioningly supported Israel no matter what it did or didn't do to
Palestinians for decades. Despite the fact, Holocaust survivors of
Hitler's death camps were granted carte blanche by Europe, the United States,
and the United Nations back in 1948 to invade and steal territory belonging
to the Palestinians for generations.

Used the Bible to 'justify'
theft of this land. -- Land ancient Israel lost generations ago due
to its excesses. Democrats have never "been
so clearly anti-Israel, so clearly anti-Jewish Israel,” That's
false. Not the truth. Never been the truth. For decades,
Democrats went along with Republicans in strong support of Israel.
Again, no matter what Israel did. No matter its tactics. No
matter the fact it commandeered Palestinian territory. Murdered Palestinians
defending their territory.

Egregiously abused Palestinians.
Bulldozed down the houses belonging to the families of Palestinians who
the Israeli aggressor determined to be 'terrorists.' Made no difference
the United States supplied the F-16s and bombs the Israelis routinely used
during uprisings in highly-populated civilian areas. War crimes,
the Israelis have never been prosecuted for.

Nor has the American government,
-- for selling arms to an aggressor that used these weapons offensively.
In direct violation of U.S. export law. Now, the Israeli aggressor
is routinely extending settlements throughout Palestinian territory.
Have decided they no longer support a two-state solution. They
never did. Think the United States would tolerate Mexico commandeering
areas of Texas it formerly owned? Think Texans themselves wouldn't
fight like hell?

Why is it a hopelessly
ignorant former baseball player equates ferocious opposition to Israeli-perpetrated
atrocities with anti-Semitism? They're not one and the same.
Never have been. They are what they are, that is, determined, pointed,
ferocious criticism of an aggressor that perpetrates war crimes to remain
in power. How is it Republican national socialists remain equally
clueless, determinedly, concertedly ignorant of this fact?
Convenience? Political expediency? Blatant pandering?
Or, is it achingly hopeless, aggressive stupidity?

Schilling's determined
ignorance extends to transgenders:

"Schilling, who led both
the Philadelphia Phillies and the Boston Red Sox to World Series victories,
was fired by ESPN in April for posting offensive content on social media
about transgender individuals."

Pitiful, isn't it?
This, now, the best Republican national socialists have to offer? Appalling.

Seems political correctness
has replaced good judgment as well as truth in our formerly great country.
Ardent supporters of Israel, no matter what atrocities it commits, have
unjustly succeeded in falsely equating criticism of the Israeli State with
anti-Semitism. They are not one and the same, however. To claim
so is to engage in egregious sophistry.

Fox News reports:

"The University of California
at Berkeley has suspended a course amid accusations it shared anti-Semitic
viewpoints and was designed to indoctrinate students against Israel.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports Berkeley suspended "Palestine: A Settler
Colonial Analysis" on Tuesday. The newspaper reports Thursday that a syllabus
for the one-credit course taught by an undergraduate student says it examines
the history of Palestine "through the lens of settler colonialism."

While I have no direct
knowledge of this course and its offerings, there is no question the modern
day State of Israel was in fact established through "settler
colonialism." Survivors of the Holocaust
were indeed granted carte blanche in 1948 to occupy Palestine by Europe,
the United States, and the United Nations. That's not in dispute.
It is fact.

Israelis accomplished
this occupation through development and implementation of modern day terroristic
tactics. ... Tactics which Palestinians and others in the region
quickly adopted and implemented themselves. Why? Simple.
Because, sadly, they worked. Since 1948, the State of Israel has
indeed deliberately, intentionally, concertedly subjugated the Palestinians
under its boot heel. Again, this is not conjecture, it is fact.
Catastrophic history. ... Fact, which we in this country cannot accept.
Cannot and will not, comprehend, truly understand. We remain determinedly
blind.

"The course has been suspended
pending completion of the mandated review and approval process," according
to a campus statement that expressed concern about a course that "espoused
a single political viewpoint and appeared to offer a forum for political
organizing." The suspension came on the same day 43 Jewish, civil
rights and education advocacy groups sent a letter to Chancellor Nicholas
Dirks office raising concerns about the course. The letter says the
class encourages students to accept the idea "that Israel is an illegitimate
settler colonial state" and that course readings have "a blatantly anti-Israel
bias."

They, the invaders back
in 1948, are illegitimate occupiers of Palestinian territory.
Have been. They lost Biblical Israel generations ago due to egregious
excess. Now wish to re-write history. This college course may
indeed have an "anti-Israel bias." That doesn't, however, make the
readings or the course anti-Semitic. -- Despite the fact Israel is
indeed a theocracy.

There is a conceptual
difference here. A profound difference. Criticism of the actions
of a rogue state doesn't necessarily imply criticism of the religion it
may be based on. Fascists on the Extreme Right seem to clearly, determinedly
miss this point vis a vis their condemnation of Islamic theocracies.
These goddamned clueless national socialists are pointedly reminded the
current President, as well as his Republican predecessor, rightfully
took great pains to insist this is not a war against Islam, per
se. It is a war against Islamic jihad, that is, terrorism.

They now display blatant
hypocrisy when they conveniently apply the very same illogic on someone
who offers a course on Israeli excesses and unbridled brutality.
We seem to conveniently miss this most salient point in our formerly great
country. Be interesting to see where this all goes. Looking
forward to additional information as it becomes available from the school.

Most pointedly, since
when is it anti-Semitic to ferociously criticize, condemn the brutally
vicious fascists who run and own the State of Israel? The Israeli
public, itself, is not happy with its leadership. Has itself condemned
the brutal excesses of the Israeli leadership. Are they, the Israeli
public, anti-Semitic as well? Give me a break. The clueless
in our formerly great country need to finally wake up. Smell the
coffee. Embrace reality. Instead of the bullshit they're being
spoon fed by partisans in both major political parties.

The bastards would have
none of that. Like Nazi Gestapo storm troopers, hauled her to jail.
Falsely, accused her of inciting violence. A goddamned bullshit charge.
There is no free speech in national socialist Israel. They certainly
have adopted some of the tactics of their Nazi oppressors during the Second
World War.

Yet, we continue to support
and finance the fascist bastards. Worse, Israel intends to pass a
new law reining in content on all social media, including Facebook. Yet,
we support this increasingly fascist oppressor. Continue to be on
the wrong side of history. Tatour remains unrepentant. As she
should be. An opinion is not incitement. Even if it
challenges the aggressor's brutal tactics and inhumanity.

The Israeli aggressor
intends to hold Facebook accountable for regulating content, that is, censoring
Facebook posts. Think that will fly? Do you GOP nazis here
in our formerly great country think it should?

7-22-16

The hypocritical bullshit
never seems to end. The Washington Times reports:

"The State Department
paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers grants to an Israeli
group that used the money to build a campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu in last year’s Israeli parliamentary elections, a congressional
investigation concluded Tuesday.

"Some $350,000 was sent
to OneVoice, ostensibly to support the group’s efforts to back Israeli-Palestinian
peace settlement negotiations. But OneVoice used the money to build a voter
database, train activists and hire a political consulting firm with ties
to President Obama’s campaign — all of which set the stage for an anti-Netanyahu
campaign, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in a
bipartisan staff report."

The Israeli aggressor
continues to be supported no matter what it does. The real problem
that remains is the fact no one is completely sure precisely how much the
aggressor continues to receive from the United States Government.

7-8-16

The insanity in Israel
continues unabated. Fox reports:

"A 13-year-old Jewish
girl who was stabbed to death in her bed by a Palestinian attacker on Thursday
was an American citizen, the State Department said.

"Hallel Yaffa Ariel was
asleep in her home in a West Bank settlement when a 17-year-old assailant
broke in to the house and killed her before he was shot by security guards.

"The horrifying murder
of a young girl in her bed underscores the bloodlust and inhumanity of
the incitement-driven terrorists that we are facing," Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said after an emergency meeting with his defense minister.
"The entire nation deeply identifies with the family's pain and declares
to the murderers: you will not break us."

Yes, this an appalling
murder. Yes, there is no excuse for it. Absolutely nothing
reasonable about it. Horrendously, heartless. Insane.
Yet, the Israeli aggressor can expect far more of the same. It remains
the only way Palestinians can fight back against the aggressor that continues
to wantonly kill Palestinians, stole its land in 1948, and continues to
steal additional territory. Denies it statehood.

The United States continues
to supply the Israeli aggressor with arms it continues to employ in direct
violation of U.S. export law, that is, offensively. Does so with
impunity. When the Israelis commit an atrocity, like drop an F-16-delivered
bomb in a highly-populated Palestinian neighborhood, their American benefactor
simply tells them not to do it again. Pitiful. Forget? The
Palestinians don't have U.S.-supplied F-16s that drop bombs in highly-populated
Israeli occupied areas, do they?

They do have knives, however,
and seem more than willing to use them. Much to the chagrin of the
Israelis who expect the Palestinians to peacefully accept the Israeli jackboot
on their throats. We wouldn't tolerate Israeli atrocities here, why
should the Palestinians? Why are the Israelis quick to condemn all
criticism as anti-Semitic?

It's fact the Israeli
aggressor is not comfortable with and won't accept. The jackbooted
bastards are hopelessly blind to the truth. Expect everyone else
to be as well. They're not. That's why the terror continues
unabated. So will the criticism. It's directed at the war criminals
who run the State of Israel. Not all Jews. Just the war criminals
who continue to murder Palestinians and steal their land.

It's amazing the horribly
unjust criticism British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn received for
the following true statement he made:

"Our Jewish friends are
no more responsible for the actions of Israel or the Netanyahu government
than our Muslim friends are for those of various self-styled Islamic states
or organizations."

You can imagine the firestorm
this elicited in Israel after the murder of the young girl. Corbyn
was quickly and ferociously accused of anti-Semitism by the Israelis.
That's abject bullshit. The Israeli aggressor needs to look in the
mirror. Yes, the murder of this girl is horrendous. Horrific.
Yet, the killing will continue unabated because of the intransigence of
the Israelis and Israeli war crimes continually committed by the aggressor
who falsely believes it has Divine Right to Palestine.

While there is indeed
no
moral equivalency between the Israelis and ISIS, the Israelis are ultimately
responsible, along with the U.S., Europe, and the UN for granting the Israeli
aggressor carte blanche to invade Palestine in 1948, steal its land, continue
to steal Palestinian territory, kill Palestinians since 1948 and ever since.
Vis a vis modern terrorist tactics, techniques, and strategy Israeli commandos
invented and implemented at the time the aggressor invaded Palestine and,
again, sadly ever since. That's the truth the Israelis and their
shills will apparently never understand or accept.

Then, the Israelis wonder
why Palestinians and others in the Middle East have followed their example
and used the very same terroristic tactics? Amazing. Fascinating.
Worse? Sadly, that not only the Israelis, but we in the United States
remain as hopelessly and determinedly clueless as we are. The situation
in the Middle East will not improve until the aggressor is reined in.

Subsequent to writing
the above, Elie Wiesel died 7-2-16. Mr. Wiesel was a survivor of
Buchenwald and Auschwitz. Won a Nobel Peace Prize. Migrated
to the United States in 1956 and became a U.S. citizen some seven years
later. Was enormously influential promulgating the U.S. Holocaust
Museum in Washington. President Obama paid the following tribute
to this truly great man:

“Elie was not just the
world’s most prominent Holocaust survivor, he was a living memorial.
He raised his voice, not just against anti-Semitism, but against hatred,
bigotry and intolerance in all its forms.

“His life, and the power
of his example, urges us to be better. In the face of evil, we must
summon our capacity for good. In the face of hate, we must love. In the
face of cruelty, we must live with empathy and compassion. We must never
be bystanders to injustice or indifferent to suffering.”

"Elie Wiesel, of blessed
memory, embodied the determination of the human spirit to overcome the
darkest of evils, and survive against all the odds. His life was dedicated
to the fight against all hatred, and for the sake of man as created in
the image of God — he was a guide for us all."

Sadly, Mr. Prime Minister,
you yourself have egregiously failed to follow his example. You have
clearly demonstrated, sir, you are no more than a war criminal. The
theft of Palestinian land since the invasion of Palestine by Holocaust
survivors in 1948 with the blessing of the United States, Europe, and the
UN was the beginning of 68 years of atrocities committed against the Palestinians
by the Israeli aggressor.

Not only have you stolen
their land and continue to steal their land, Mr. Prime Minister, you and
your cohorts continue to kill them as they fight their occupiers, sir.
Sadly, Mr. Prime Minister, you can expect far more of this terroristic
insanity as your occupation continues. Sooner or later your U.S.
benefactor will wake up. Refuse to continue to financially and militarily
support the carnage you and your jackbooted stormtroopers continue to wreak.

Only a matter of time,
Mr. Prime Minister. This will not continue forever, sir. Without
support of your U.S. benefactor, the State of Israel cannot survive on
its own, -- if you continue on the path you are on. As you well know,
you are surrounded by enemies who are determined to defeat Israel and drive
its people out of the region.

This would literally be
a tragedy of biblical proportions. Continue as you are, that could
and would sadly become reality. Certainly, hope not, sir. What
makes you still think Israel is owed Palestine by Divine Right? The
Israelites forfeited any claim to this land generations ago through their
excesses. What makes you still believe you're entitled to someone
else's land? The most convenient rubber stamp of the United States,
Europe, and the UN who had no right in the first place to grant you carte
blanche in 1948? Have been paying the price for this haughty egregious
mistake for decades now.

President Obama's statement,
"We
must never be bystanders to injustice or indifferent to suffering,”
is stunning. Egregiously, untrue. Shamelessly, achingly hypocritical.
The President has done precisely the opposite. Not only vis a vis
war crimes committed against the Palestinians by the Israeli aggressor,
but lip service paid by the Chief Executive to the enormous number of murders
wantonly committed by police on the job in the United States. To
say nothing of corruption, other violence, shake downs, ineptness of the
law enforcement community in our formerly great country.

Interestingly, Israeli
journalists have been highly critical of Israeli officials. Yet,
have not been considered to be anti-Semitic. On NPR, one of them
was recently asked why Mr. Wiesel never criticized the Israeli leadership
for its atrocious treatment of Palestinians. He (Wiesel) answered
he did not live in Israel, therefore, would not do so. Mr. Wiesel
did not live in Rwanda and yet wisely, courageously condemned the carnage
that occurred there.

Many, if not most, of
the Israeli public also do not think treatment of Palestinians by the Israeli
leadership to be morally acceptable and in the best interests of the State
of Israel. They're right. It's not. This remains an ongoing
problem that continues to threaten the existence of Israel. Yet,
the fascist bastards in charge in Israel consider all criticism to be anti-Semitic.

That's goddamned bullshit.
Only Israeli citizens can criticize you and other war criminals in Israel
without being falsely labeled as anti-Semitic? That's Aryan arrogance,
Mr. Prime Minister. Expected of your Nazi oppressors during the Second
World War. Not the leadership of the State of Israel. Wake
up, Mr. Prime Minister. Continue as you are, and you will lose your
country.

7-1-16

Israeli atrocities continue
unabated. CNN reports:

"Israeli soldiers shot
and killed a Palestinian teenager early Tuesday in the West Bank, mistakenly
believing he was involved in an earlier stone-throwing incident, the Israel
Defense Forces said."

These bastards murder
innocent Palestinians. Are not held accountable for their crimes.
Yet, we continue to support the Israeli aggressor that invaded Palestine
in 1948 with the blessing of the United States, Europe, and the United
Nations. Stole their land. Continues to steal their land.
Killed Palestinians on nearly a continuous basis from 1948 to the present.
Yet, we continue to financially and militarily support the war criminals
who run and own the State of Israel.

Insult to injury?
Israeli jackbooted bastards bulldozed the home of Palestinian Bashar Masalha.
Masalha killed an American and injured ten others in a knife attack earlier
this year. What the hell does the aggressor expect? Palestinians
not to fight back? Are they so stupid to believe bulldozing down
a domicile housing other family members is not going to inspire
further acts of aggression?

These ignorant, clueless
bastards truly believe collective punishment works? If so, why do
Palestinian attacks continue unabated? Think they won't exponentially
increase should the Israeli aggressor move Palestinians en masse as planned
and permanently deny them a state as also planned by the nazis who run
and own Israel? Equally pointedly? What will these fascist
bastards do when the American public finally smartens up, recognizes them
for the aggressor they truly are, and demands all funding end? Think
it will never happen? That aggressive stupidity will always rein
supreme?

6-24-16

Why do we continue to
finance the Israeli aggressor? Israeli Prime Minister Bebe Netanyahu
spent over $600,000 in public funds to finance his 6-day trip to the UN
last fall. Imagine that. This murderer of Palestinians indeed
takes good care of himself. ABC reports:

"Israel's Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu spent more than $600,000 of public funds on a six-day
trip to New York, including $1,600 on a personal hairdresser, according
to a newly released expense report.

"The trip to the U.N.
General Assembly last fall also included $210 in laundry services, $1,862
in meals and nearly $20,000 to move and store furniture."

The Israeli aggressor
receives over $10 billion a year from looted U.S. taxpayers. Why?
... So they can continue killing Palestinians and stealing their land?
Wake
up. You're being fleeced. Worse? Bamboozled.

6-17-16

The Washington Post
reports:

"A top Israeli minister
said he wants the government to take complete control of more than half
of the West Bank and remove the Palestinian residents of the territory.
While traveling with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a state visit
to Russia on Tuesday, Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel told the Times of
Israel that the world should forget about a Palestinian state. “We
have to aspire to the annexation of Area C; these are areas where there
are no Arabs at all,” Ariel said. “We would remove a few thousand, who
do not constitute a significant numerical factor.”

Why are we supporting
these Israeli fascist bastards militarily and with financial aid? Why?
They're war criminals. Stole Palestinian territory in 1948 and ever
since. This war will not end. The Palestinians will continue
to fight. Why wouldn't they? We would if Canada or Mexico invaded
and commandeered U.S. territory. Why should the Palestinians act
or think any differently?

6-17-16

Texas U.S. Sen. Ted "Screws
Loose" Cruz has clearly lost his mind. This national socialist, unabashed
fascist has his head lodged so far up his ass his eyeballs are turning
inside out. The following is part of his most recent newsletter 6-10-16:

"Sen. Cruz on Tuesday
spoke on the Senate floor, bolstering three of his amendments that would
secure our homeland and protect American interests abroad. Specifically,
Sen. Cruz urged his colleagues to take up and pass amendments supporting
Israel Missile Defense programs, halting the Obama administration’s plan
to give away the Internet, and stripping citizenship from any American
who takes up arms against the United States of America."

The Senator supports the
Israeli aggressor no matter what it does in direct violation of U.S. export
law which prohibits Israeli offensive use of American-supplied weapons.
Yet, this fascist bastard wants to give them more. Why?
So they can kill more Palestinians and steal more of their land?
The President has no plans of giving away the Internet. The Senator
is a boldfaced liar. His plan to strip U.S. citizenship is unconstitutional.
The Constitution is clear. This piece of shit is bastardizing the
Constitution he has taken an oath to protect and defend. To further
his nazi agenda. Pitiful. Galling. Treasonous Achingly,
un-American. Nazi.

6-10-16

NPR reports:

"On Sunday, we lost one
of our own.

David Gilkey, an NPR photojournalist
who documented both tragedy and hope, was killed in Afghanistan along with
NPR's Afghan interpreter and fellow journalist Zabihullah Tamanna."

This is a problem.
An ongoing problem. Begs the question why are we still there?
What do we hope to accomplish? What are we accomplishing?
We have no reason to be there any longer. Why are we there?
Lining the pockets of war profiteers? The corporate management suite
that never gets enough?

There is no exigent
threat to the United States. Not from Afghanistan. Not from
Iraq. Not from Syria. Not from anywhere in the Middle East.
There is no exigent threat from ISIS to the U.S. mainland.
Do something novel. Let the Middle East solve its own problems.
F--k Big Oil. Why weren't we completely energy independent
60
years ago? Wake up. Unbridled corporate greed.

We seem to have conveniently
forgotten our continuing mindless support of the Israeli aggressor no matter
what it does is what caused the scourge of modern terrorism. The
fact the Middle East remains war torn. In turmoil. As long
as our noses remain where they don't belong, nothing will improve.
Profound problems and issues will remain unresolved. In fact, sadly,
continue to be exacerbated.

Until this changes, expect
more of the same. The Israelis want no peace. No longer, if
ever, support a two-state solution. Were Aryan arrogantly, callously
given carte blanche by Europe, the United States, and the UN to do as they
please. Unfettered. ... Since all three entities supported
what turned out to be an invasion of Palestine at the time the State
of Israel was formed in 1948.

Palestinians fought back
ever since. Will continue to do so. Rightfully, so.
Had we been invaded by Canada or Mexico think we wouldn't have done the
same? The Israelis lost Palestine generations ago due to egregious
excesses. Now consider it theirs for all eternity. Why?
By Divine Right? Bullshit. They've conveniently, gutlessly,
cluelessly bastardized the Bible. To get their way.
Consequently, the conflict will continue indefinitely. Until the
United States wakes up. Smells the coffee. Stops supporting
the Israeli aggressor unconditionally.

Things don't look good
in Israel. Our ally is certainly going nazi. That is, is moving
to the Extreme Right under American-educated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu. So much so, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon resigned in
protest, 5-20-16. When are the United States and fascists in both
major political parties here in our formerly great country finally going
to rein in the Israeli aggressor? Instead of allowing it carte blanche
to do as it pleases. When will U.S. export law prohibiting offensive
use of weapons systems sold and/or given the Israelis finally be rigorously
enforced?
